SNIPPET: “Extremist Rashid Rauf is said to have helped train a terrorist to blow up a packed train in a chilling July 7-style massacre.
MI6 officers have linked the plot to a complex terror network said to be directed from Pakistan by Rauf and fellow jihadists.”
The Islamist fanatic is suspected of being al-Qaida’s chief recruiter in Pakistan for European attacks.

SNIPPET: “Rashid Rauf is the reason we’re not allowed to go through airport security with a bottle of water. The hooded, long-nosed extremist was the mastermind behind the plot to use Lucozade bottles and batteries to blow up at least seven planes flying across the Atlantic, for which three men were convicted at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday. Had Rauf’s plan succeeded, 18 suicide bombers might have killed 5,000 people.
A leading go-between for young, angry British Muslims and the terrorist network al-Qaeda, Rauf was also linked to the 2004 attempt to blow up London nightclubs with explosive fertiliser, to the murders of 52 people in the 7/7 bombings in 2005, and to the failed attempts to bomb London again a fortnight later.”
