Terror plot accused 'had bomb vest instruction video' <javascript: ViewGallery();> A young British follower of al-Qaida's extreme ideology had a video giving step-by-step instructions for making a suicide vest, a court heard yesterday. Police found the 26-minute film on a computer CD when they searched the home of Waseem Mughal, 24, in Chatham, Kent, in October 2005, Woolwich Crown Court was told. The clip details how to construct the vest, including the making of the explosive charge and the attachment of ball bearings to act as shrapnel. Officers also discovered other computer files and documents likely to be useful to terrorists when they carried out simultaneous raids on the homes of Younes Tsouli, 23, and Tariq al-Daour, 21, the court heard. Tsouli's laptop contained a 58-slide Microsoft Powerpoint presentation entitled "The Illustrated Booby Trapping Course". Prosecutor Mark Ellison said the Arabic document claimed to teach the viewer how to make a remotely detonated bomb suitable for blowing up "passing vehicles or a rich man's house". A weapons expert from the Forensic Explosives Laboratory described it as "a detailed guide to the science and use of a variety of military and improvised explosives", the court heard. Mr Ellison said: "The information is quite obviously likely to be useful to a person preparing or committing an act of terrorism." Police allegedly found computer CDs at al-Daour's home containing files with instructions for making explosives and poisons. He also possessed a CD containing a recipe for creating a rotten meat toxin that in its pure form is "the most toxic substance known to man", Mr Ellison told the court. The court heard on Monday that the three men believed in a global conspiracy to wipe out Islam and had a "particularly close affiliation" with al-Qaida in Iraq. Mughal, Tsouli, of Shepherds Bush, west London, and al-Daour, of Bayswater, west London, all deny possessing documents or records likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. They have also pleaded not guilty to inciting others to commit an act of terrorism wholly or partly outside the UK. In addition, Tsouli and Mughal deny conspiracy to murder, and al-Daour has pleaded not guilty to conspiring with others to defraud banks, credit card companies and charge card companies. The three defendants used email, websites and internet chatrooms to spread their ideology of violent holy war against non-believers or "kuffars", the court heard. In one online conversation UAE-born al-Daour was asked what he would do with £1m and allegedly replied: "Sponsor terrorist attacks, become the new Osama (Bin Laden)." He also distributed a video showing the beheading of American hostage Nick Berg and promoted it as a "correct way to act", Mr Ellison said. In another internet conversation al-Daour said suicide bombings were permissible but he did not like them unless they killed many people because "a Muslim life is worth more than that". Records of Moroccan-born Tsouli's online chats in early 2005 indicated he was "well-connected to those who were in apparently significant positions in facilitating and encouraging terrorist acts abroad", the prosecutor said. Online he used the name irhabi007, combining the Arabic word for terrorist with James Bond's code number, the jury was told. Analysis of a hand-written list of e-mail and website addresses seized from Tsouli's home linked all three defendants to extremist material on the internet, the court heard. The trial continues.
