'TERROR' CAMPING: 21/7 UNDERCOVER FILM

THE 21/7 TRIAL: UNDERCOVER FILM Bomb plotters pictured by police training in
the Lake District, jury told

By Adrian Shaw

THESE amazing pictures show the 21/7 terror plot defendants training and
praying at a Lake District camp, a jury heard yesterday.

Undercover police videoed the men on May 3, 2004 - 14 months before they
allegedly tried to blow up three London Tube trains and a bus.

Officers filmed four would-be suicide bombers with rucksacks running on a
hillside above a Lake District farm, the terror plot court was told. A fifth
of the six accused was with them at the camp.

The jury also heard that one of the alleged bombers, Muktar Ibrahim, 28,
soon came to police attention twice more, being arrested on London's Oxford
Street and quizzed at Heathrow Airport before a trip to Pakistan.

The five defendants on the bank holiday trip were among more than 20 Muslims
pictured praying at the isolated site near Bay Brown farm in Langdale,
Cumbria. They were seen taking down their tents and loading equipment into
cars and vans before driving away.

Ibrahim is accused of trying to bomb a No 26 bus in Hackney, East London, on
21 July 2005, two weeks after the 7/7 blasts in the capital which killed 52.

Others at the camp accused of trying to bring further carnage to London were
Ramzi Mohammed, 24, the alleged Oval Tube bomber, Yassin Omar, 26, said to
have tried to bomb Warren Street station, and Hussain Osman, 28, the alleged
Shepherds Bush bomber.

The jury has heard that the detonators in the bombs - which were made from
chapati flour and hydrogen peroxide and placed in rucksacks - fired but did
not set off the main charge.

Also pictured was Adel Yahya, 24, who had left the country before July 21,
2005, but who is accused of helping prepare the campaign.

The sixth member of the alleged conspiracy, Manfo Asiedu, 33 - said to have
lost his nerve on the attack day - was not at the camp.

Pictures showed Ibrahim in a blue hooded top, blue trousers with a light
blue flare and carrying a rucksack. Mohammed wore green camouflage trousers
with a blue T-shirt and was seen loading a van.

Omar wore a T-shirt with the word Kenya on it and also had a backpack.

Osman, in a jacket with blue and white piping, was seen carrying three bags
and a stick and standing next to a child.

Yahya wore a blue unzipped top. A surveillance officer who took one set of
pictures told the jury at Woolwich crown court: "They appeared to form a
semicircle around one of the vehicles and appeared to be indulging in
prayer. I also saw two digging implements which were folded up and put into
the vans.

"They were a long distance from me. They were running up and down. They had
rucksacks on their backs.

"I couldn't be specific but they didn't appear to be running randomly. They
were in a line running up and down. This was prior to the group appearing by
a track and walking to the car park."

A second officer, who took another video, said there were "approximately 23
males and approximately seven tents" in a group which was set well away from
another camp site.

The court heard a third policeman from Scotland Yard's counter terrorism
command identified the alleged terror plotters at the camp from the
pictures.

The jury was told Ibrahim was stopped by Special Branch officers at Heathrow
in December 2004 as he tried to board a flight to Islamabad with two other
men.

A surveillance officer said he gave his name as Muktar Mohammed Said and
named his companions as Rizwan Majid and Shaheel Ismail of East London.

He claimed he was going on a £520 Gulf Air flight via Bahrain and Abu Dhabi
to attend Majid's wedding. The three had return tickets valid until March
2005.

The officer told the court that Ibrahim told him he intended to stay for 20
days after the wedding and come back.

Prosecutor Max Hill asked: "Was he able to give you the name of the intended
bride?" The officer replied: "No, sir, he wasn't."

Mr Hill asked him: "Could he tell you any details of how the betrothal had
come about?"

"None whatsoever," he answered. The officer said Ibrahim had more than
£2,000 in his hand baggage, a video camera and anti-malaria tablets.

In a separate black holdall he had a sleeping bag and cold weather clothing.

Majid's luggage was said to contain £2,200 in cash, a military first-aid kit
and sections from a manual on treating ballistics injuries."

The policeman said he asked Ibrahim about his religion, adding: "He is a
Sunni Muslim and initially claimed to be very casual about his beliefs."

He worshipped at a mosque in East London but sometimes did not go "for weeks
on end".

Ibrahim showed a "sensitive streak about Muslims being singled out for
security checks", the officer added.

The three missed their flight after more than three hours of questioning but
were allowed to travel the next day.

The jury was told that two months previously Ibrahim had been arrested
outside Debenhams in Oxford Street while distributing Islamic literature.
His Pakistan trip was to take part in or train for "Jihad" (holy war), the
court heard.

Ibrahim, of Stoke Newington, North London, Osman, of no fixed address, Omar,
of New Southgate, North London, Mohammed, of North Kensington, West London,
Asiedu, of Finsbury Park, North London and Yahya, of Tottenham, North
London, deny conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions.

The trial continues.
