A senior Al Qaeda figure in Iraq warned a British cleric back in April of plans to attack British targets, telling him “those who cure you will kill you”, The Times is reporting.
The claim comes as police question eight suspects, all of whom appear to be doctors or have medical links, in connection with the botched car bombings in London and Glasgow.
Canon Andrew White told the newspaper that he met the unnamed Al Qaeda leader, who had travelled from Syria, on the sidelines of a religious reconciliation meeting in Amman, Jordan.
Canon White said that he had passed the warning along to a senior official at the British foreign ministry, but not the specific words.
When contacted by AFP a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman would only say: “The official in question doesn’t recall the conversation that is supposed to have taken place.”
According to Canon White, the Al Qaeda leader “talked to me about how they were going to destroy British and Americans. He told me that the plans were already made and they would soon be destroying the British.”
“He said the people who cure you would kill you.”
Canon White said that the man who delivered the warning, who was in his 40s, said at the time that the plans would be carried out in the coming weeks, and would target the British first.
He did not learn the man’s identity until after the meeting and did not disclose it.

My concern is that there are others in this country connected to the same group in London. Maybe they watched and figured out what the problem was getting the 1st 2 to go off.
