“Airline plot accused ‘had codes’”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Documents containing coded phrases were found in a house connected to Umar Islam, a defendant in the airliner bomb plot trial, Woolwich Crown Court heard.

The papers held tables with codes for places such as the American and British embassies and the intelligence services, the jury was told.

Eight men are accused of planning to detonate home-made bombs, disguised as soft drinks, on several flights.

All deny conspiring to murder and endangering planes in August 2006.
The documents were found when police searched a house on Bushey Road in Plaistow, east London, on 10 August 2006, following Mr Islam’s arrest.

Prosecutor Peter Wright QC read some of the “coded phrases”, along with their meanings, out to the jury.

He alleged that some of the phrases were codes for particular actions, while others represented key places and destinations.

Included on one table were the codes: “Someone ready for Jihad - going to have a party”; “accident happened - car broke down or how are you, how’s your mother,” the jury was told.

Under a heading called “Persons and Institutions”, “sweet shop” stood for the British embassy.

Under the heading “Countries and Locations”, the UK became “Argentina”, the prosecution said.

Defending Islam, Lawrence McNulty said the papers were found among personal documents not relating to his client.

Phone cards
Mr Wright also gave the jury a breakdown of the mobile phones, calling cards, landlines and sim cards which the defendants are alleged to have used to keep in contact with each other.”
