“Defendant in U.K. jetliner plot claims he “only” planned small bomb at Houses of Parliament as publicity stunt for movie he was making”
ATTICLE SNIPPET: “Earlier in the trial, the jury was played a video in which Ali said he wanted to become a martyr. He threatened to “punish and humiliate” non-Muslims and “teach them a lesson they will never forget.”
The computer systems engineering graduate told the court on Monday the video was just propaganda. He said he intended to use the footage for a documentary to be distributed on YouTube. The bomb blast, he said, would help publicize the movie.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Prosecutors say Ali had a computer memory stick that stored vast amounts of detail on daily air services from London to North America, adding that he and his co-conspirators did not seem interested in return flights.”

“Allah ‘loves us to die and kill in his path’”
(CNN)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “LONDON, England (AP) — Jurors saw video Thursday of a man accused of plotting to blow up trans-Atlantic aircraft praising Osama bin Laden and vowing to wage a holy war against nonbelievers.
Umar Islam, 29, made the comments in a video found in the trunk of a car belonging to another suspect. Prosecutors say it was a suicide video intended to be viewed after his death.
Islam and seven others are charged with plotting to detonate bombs aboard airliners bound from London to the United States and Canada using explosives concealed in soft drink bottles. Prosecutors say they were close to carrying out their plan when they were arrested in August 2006. The men deny the charges.”
