“Brit spies foil 9/11 New York raid No2”

SNIPPET: “But the Yard’s counter-terrorism branch was monitoring an email address uncovered in April’s abortive Operation Pathway probe into an alleged UK terror cell.”

SNIPPET: “It lay dormant for months - then was suddenly reactivated in September.

After a British tip-off, US authorities allegedly found bomb-making instructions on Zazi’s laptop. His fingerprints were on batteries and measuring scales were seized.

A phone contained video of New York’s Grand Central Station, which he visited a week before his arrest. And explosive residue was found in a kitchen. Informants also said Zazi visited a terror training camp in Pakistan. A British security source told The Sun: “This was excellent work and highlights the fact we produce good information.””

SNIPPET: “TERROR mastermind Rashid Rauf has been linked to a fresh Al Qaida plot to launch attacks on the US.

The Birmingham-born extremist has been named by witnesses due to testify against Najibullah Zazi, who was arrested for plotting suicide bombings in New York.

MI6 officers have linked the plot to a complex terror network said to be directed from Pakistan by Rauf and fellow jihadists.

Zazi, 24, was identified through an intercepted communication, and was further implicated by US national Bryant Neal Vinas, who was captured in Pakistan last November.

Vinas, 26, allegedly admits meeting Rauf and receiving training to blow up a train on the Long Island Rail Road inside New York’s busy Pennsylvania Station.”
