"Al-Qaeda bomb expert to stay in jail"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Prison Service official said that, while in Maghaberry jail, Boutrab had been caught downloading instructions on a prison computer from the internet on how to make bombs as well, as pro- al-Qaeda material. He added that, under the immigration order, Boutrab could be held in jail indefinitely.

When PSNI officers raided Boutrab's home in the northern outskirts of Belfast nearly four years ago they found 20 floppy disks, five compact discs, 18 audio-cassette tapes, three mobile phones and several false passports. MI5 eventually de-encrypted the disks and discovered that they included blueprints on how to blow up planes in mid-air, instruction on how to use cameras to detonate explosive devices and plans for building mini-bombs. The documents indicated these were to be smuggled on to planes and re-assembled in the airline toilets.

During Boutrab's trial an FBI explosives expert, Special Agent Donald Schtleben, demonstrated how the plans found in his computer detonated viable devices. The FBI agent also showed the court how a disposable flash camera, together with tungsten wire, a battery and lead oxide could be turned into a detonator.

Among written instructions found on CDs was a warning that those carrying devices on to planes should not act alone. They cited the case of would-be-suicide bomber Richard Reid who tried to ignite a much cruder device hidden inside the sole of his shoe on board a transatlantic flight."
