The leader of an Al Qaeda-backed British Muslim gang who plotted the deadliest terror attack on British soil boasted of a nailbomb attack that could kill 2\u201a000 people\u201a shouting: &#8216;Boom\u201a boom\u201a boom everywhere&#8230;kill.&#8217; Chilling police recordings capture Irfan Naseer saying Westerners deserve to be &#8216;terrorised&#8217; because &#8216;they wanna have sex like donkeys on the street&#8217;. He adds: &#8216;Why shouldn&#8217;t we terrorise them\u201a tell me that? You think about it\u201a if someone came in your house\u201a yeah\u201a and started dancing and throughout the night and started basically having orgies and smoking drugs and stuff&#8230;you would terrorise them\u201a innit.&#8217; In one sick exchange\u201a another of the terrorists compared the gang to Formula One drivers\u201a saying: &#8216;It&#8217;s the four suicide bombers driving around ready to take on England.&#8217; &#8216;Little Irfan&#8217;: Birmingham born Irfan Khalid travelled to Pakistan for terror training Irfan Naseer\u201a 31\u201a Irfan Khalid\u201a 27\u201a and Ashik Ali\u201a 27\u201a all from Birmingham\u201a were convicted of plotting the &#8216;spectacular campaign&#8217; designed to claim as many lives as the 2005 London Underground bombs that killed 52 innocent people Inspired by hate preacher Anwar al-Awlaki&#8217;s online sermons\u201a the homegrown jihadis planned a huge series of explosions at crowded shopping centres and railway stations across Britain. Two of them travelled to Pakistan to learn about bomb-making\u201a weapons and poisons &#8211; then came back to their council-funded flat in Birmingham to make explosives. The trio\u201a who met at school and called themselves the Four Lions after the black comedy film by Chris Morris\u201a even funded the plot by pretending to be Muslim Aid charity street collectors. Judge Justice Henriques said: &#8216;You were seeking to recruit a team of suicide bombers to carry out a spectacular bombing campaign\u201a one which would create an anniversary along the lines of 7\/7 or 9\/11&#8217;. &#8216;The joker&#8217;: Ashik Ali joked that the terrorists were like the cell depicted in the comedy film &#8216;Four Lions&#8217; &#8216;The bomb plotters had the means\u201a the will and the know-how to carry out mass murder in the biggest terror attack on the British mainland &#8216;in a generation&#8217;\u201a detectives said. It is the most significant terror plot to be uncovered since the 2006 conspiracy to blow up transatlantic airliners using bombs disguised as soft drinks. Naseer was found guilty of five counts preparing for terrorism\u201a Khalid was convicted of four\u201a and Ali was convicted of three\u201a all between Christmas Day 2010 and September 19 2011. Six other men have already admitted or been found guilty of being part of the terror cell\u201a it can also be revealed today. The friends from the Midlands had been visiting Pakistan to train how to make bombs and use weapons since March 2009. But by 2011 they were being watched by MI5 and police\u201a who had bugged their car and headquarters. The investigation\u201a known as Operation Examine\/Pitsford\u201a grew to be the 450-strong counter-terror unit\u2019s largest ever. In one chilling warning\u201a Naseer was covertly recorded saying of the UK: &#8216;The only thing you will achieve is suicide bombers on your streets\u201a spilling so much blood you\u2019ll have nightmares for the rest of your life.&#8217; Khalid even boasted that the attack was &#8216;another 9\/11&#8217; as &#8216;revenge for everything&#8217;. As well as planning a series of suicide bombing\u201a the cell was also heard talking about the possibility of mixing poison into creams such as Vaseline or Nivea and smearing them on car handles to cause mass deaths. The trio even pondered welding blades to a truck and driving it into people. Although the gang had not identified targets\u201a the explosive trainings both Nasser and Khalid received at terror training camps in Pakistan meant they were capable of building viable IEDs. If they were unable to make viable bombs\u201a they planned to storm synagogues armed with automatic weapons including AK47s. Plot: Irfan Khalid and Irfan Naseer arrive at Birmingham airport before heading to Pakistan for terrorist training Training camps: Khalid and Naseer were caught on CCTV going back and forth to Pakistan from Birmingham Airport to receive instruction on plotting their attack on Britain. Collecting for terror: Irfan Naseer left and Irfan Khalid holding bucket undertake bogus charity collections in Birmingham to secretly raise funds for their bombing campaign Watched: The group were under surveillance 24 hours a day by MI5 and the police\u201a pictured here returning from a trip to a camp in Pakistan Charity funded terror: The men posed as fundraisers for a Muslim charity then used the cash to pay for bomb devices such as this alarm clock. Counter-terrorism specialist for the CPS\u201a Karen Jones\u201a said the &#8216;Four Lions&#8217; jihadiists were planning to kill more innocent people than the 52 murdered in the 7\/7 bombings. Ms Jones said: &#8216;These men had dangerous aspirations and whilst the precise targets remained unclear\u201a the potential for damage and loss of life from their plot should not be underestimated. &#8216;The evidence which we put to the court showed the defendants discussing with awe and admiration the attacks of 9\/11 and 7\/7. These terrorists wanted to do something bigger\u201a speaking of how 7\/7 had &#8216;gone a bit wrong&#8217;. &#8216;Having travelled to Pakistan for expert training and preparation\u201a Naseer and Khalid returned to the UK where they discussed attacks involving up to eight rucksacks. Had they not been stopped\u201a the consequences would have been catastrophic. &#8216;We pieced together over 25\u201a000 pages of served evidence with video and audio. It was like a complex jigsaw puzzle leading to a strong and compelling case. Today has shown that even when some preparation for acts of terrorism takes place abroad\u201a perpetrators can and will face justice in British courts.&#8217; Plotters: Ishaaq Hussain\u201a Rahin Ahmed\u201a Naweed Ali\u201a Mujahid Hussain\u201a Khobaib Hussain\u201a and Ishaaq Hussain have been implicated in the biggest attack planned on British soil &#8216;for a generation&#8217; THE BUNGLING MEN BEHIND A PLOT THAT COULD&#8217;VE BEEN &#8216;ANOTHER 7\/7&#8217; The three principal drivers behind the plot were men who initially sounded an unlikely trio to carry out such an atrocity. Irfan Naseer\u201a 31\u201a was an overweight\u201a unemployed pharmacy graduate &#8211; with the nicknames Chubbs and Big Irfan &#8211; who according to his own mother was &#8216;a mummy&#8217;s boy&#8217;. The father of Irfan Khalid\u201a 27\u201a said a medical condition would have made it unlikely he could have taken any practical part in carrying out the attack\u201a while Ashik Ali\u201a 29\u201a was registered partially sighted. There were calamitous moments as they worked on their murderous plot. They tried to raise money through bogus charity collections but ended up losing thousands playing foreign currency markets and had to apply for loans. And a note setting out the requirements for their homemade explosives was supposed to have been burned in a pan\u201a but the process produced so much smoke it was never properly destroyed. Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Adam Gough said the men were &#8216;the real deal&#8217; and\u201a if successful in detonating their devices\u201a would have perpetrated &#8216;another 9\/11 or another 7\/7 in the UK&#8217;. It was Naseer&#8217;s training in chemistry &#8211; and later training at a Pakistani terror camp &#8211; which gave him the know-how to draw up a blueprint of a viable improvised explosive device. No precise targets were discussed by the three men but Mr Gough said the attack would have involved &#8216;eight exploding rucksacks in crowded places&#8217;\u201a while Ali hinted in a police interview that &#8216;soldiers&#8217; might have been the target &#8211; while later claiming he made this up. It is also unclear when the attack was planned\u201a although the group made references to &#8216;five months\u201a a year\u201a and two years&#8217;\u201a Mr Gough said. The MI5 surveillance and bugged recordings painted a picture of incompetence as the men plotted their attacks. Mixing in street slang with jihadi rhetoric\u201a they justify their plot by saying Westerners deserve to be &#8216;terrorised&#8217;. Naseer says: &#8216;They wanna have sex like donkeys on the street\u201a they wanna club\u201a act like animals and why shouldn&#8217;t we terrorise them\u201a tell me that? You think about it\u201a if someone came in your house\u201a yeah\u201a and started dancing and throughout the night and started basically having orgies and smoking drugs and stuff&#8230;you would terrorise them\u201a innit.&#8217; In another recording\u201a taken from their car\u201a the men compared themselves to Formula One drivers. Mr Altman said: &#8216;They pretended they were going really fast taking over cars\u201a saying there were no cars in front or behind them. &#8216;They had just taken over Jenson Button and Nigel Mansell where is he? Then Khalid says: &#8216;It&#8217;s the four suicide bombers driving around ready to take on England. Oh my God take them out.&#8217; Naseer later anticipates killing 2\u201a000 people in nailbomb attacks\u201a outlining his plan as: &#8216;Boom\u201a boom\u201a boom everywhere&#8230;kill.&#8217; For Naseer\u201a from Sparkhill\u201a Khalid\u201a from Sparkbrook\u201a and Ali\u201a from Balsall Heath\u201a this included planning a bombing campaign\u201a collecting money for terrorism and recruiting others for terrorism. Naseer and Khalid also travelled to Pakistan for training\u201a and Naseer helped others travel to the country for the same purpose. Prosecutor Brian Altman QC told the jury: &#8216;The police successfully disrupted a plan to commit an act or acts of terrorism on a scale potentially greater than the London bombings in July 2005\u201a had it been allowed to run its course. &#8216;The defendants were proposing to detonate up to eight rucksack bombs in a suicide attack and\/or to detonate bombs on timers in crowded areas in order to cause mass deaths and casualties.&#8217; Naseer and Khalid both travelled to terrorist training camps in Pakistan between 2009 and 2011 to learn about bomb-making\u201a poisons and firearms. They raised \u00a312\u201a000 for themselves in this way\u201a but were forced to apply for tens of thousands of pounds in loans after losing more than \u00a39\u201a000 of the money playing foreign currency markets.

BUNGLING BUT DEADLY: FOUR LIONS TERROR CELL The &#8216;joker&#8217; of the gang\u201a Ashik Ali\u201a referred to the cell as &#8216;Four Lions&#8217; in reference to Chris Morris&#8217;s award-winning black comedy. The film is a jihad satire following a group of homegrown terrorist jihadis from Sheffield\u201a South Yorkshire\u201a who dress in comedy costumes including the Honey Monster\u201a a man riding an ostrich\u201a a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and an inverted clown. But they disagree about what to target one member detonates his bomb using a mobile phone\u201a killing a fellow terrorist and the police. In a reference to the black comedy film\u201a Ali also told his estranged wife Salma Kabal: &#8216;Oh\u201a you think this is a flipping Four Lions. We&#8217;re one man short.&#8217; In a reference to the black comedy film\u201a Ali also told his estranged wife Salma Kabal: &#8216;Oh\u201a you think this is a flipping Four Lions. We&#8217;re one man short.&#8217; Mr Justice Henriques told the trio that they will all face life in prison when they are sentenced in April or May. Speaking to Naseer\u201a he said he had been convicted on &#8216;overwhelming evidence&#8217; and that he will face &#8216;a very long minimum term&#8217;. The judge said: &#8216;You are a highly skilled bomb maker and explosives expert. Your mindset was similarly manifest. &#8216;You sought to persuade others that a terror plot here in this country was by far preferable to fighting jihad abroad.&#8217;It&#8217;s clear that you were planning a terrorist outrage in Birmingham.&#8217; Mr Justice Henriques told the trio that they will all face life in prison when they are sentenced in April or May. Fundraising: Irfan Naseer\u201a Irfan Khalid and Ashik Ali held table top sales in Birmingham where the cash raised would be secretly siphoned off to pay for trips to Pakistan Surveillance: MI5 had been watching the terror group and had planted a bug in their Hinda Civic where they were heard boasting about the atrocity they planned Shopping: Ashik Ali was watched buying curtains from Argos as part the sophisticated spying operation by the British secret services Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Adam Gough said: &#8216;From covert recordings from the address at 23 White Street\u201a the group had talked of their need to keep the operation a secret. BRITISH GROUP WERE INSPIRED BY BIN LADEN&#8217;S NUMBER TWO The three men convicted today were obsessed and influenced by the hate-preaching of one man. US-born terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki (pictured) was one of al-Qaeda&#8217;s top generals\u201a encouraging attacks on the West and also recruiting young Muslims to carry them out. Awlaki\u201a who was born in New Mexico\u201a had become the lead figure for al-Qaeda and the offshoot al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in the years after Osama bin Laden went into hiding. The CIA went on to assassinate al-Awlaki in a drone attack because he was known to have preached to the 9\/11 hijackers and even booked their aeroplane tickets. His videos were found across Britain in terrorist homes and in an extreme bookshop used by the 7\/7 attackers. Before his death\u201a he was believed to be responsible for persuading Nigerian terrorist Omar Farouk Abdulmuttalab to conceal explosives in his underwear which he tried to use to blow up a Detroit-bound plane on December 25\u201a 2009. He also played a role in the 2009 Fort Hood massacre and the failed plot by Faisal Shahzad to detonate an SUV filled with explosives on May 1\u201a 2010. &#8216;They put up black curtains at the house\u201a and they made reference to their concerns they might be under surveillance. &#8216;We could hear them &#8211; and we heard them discussing the &#8216;martyr&#8217; (July 7 bomber) Mohammed Sidique Khan\u201a and they discussed how much chemicals they would need. &#8216;Naseer referred to &#8220;seven or eight in different places &#8211; boom\u201a boom\u201a boom&#8221;.&#8217; By September 16 2011\u201a the three men were &#8216;experimenting with chemicals and home-made explosive&#8217;\u201a said Mr Gough\u201a and the police acted. There was a fear that they might try to test a device\u201a putting members of the public at risk. Late on the night of September 18\u201a officers swooped on the men&#8217;s car when it drove along a suburban street as they were heading out to get takeaway food. All three were arrested\u201a and in the next two hours 14 warrants were carried out on addresses across Birmingham. Among the addresses raided was the group&#8217;s safe house\u201a where further evidence of the men&#8217;s attempts to make a bomb was recovered\u201a including a sports injury cool pack which Naseer had mistakenly believed would contain ammonium nitrate &#8211; a key bomb-making ingredient. A partially-burned note written by Naseer detailing how to make what an expert witness said during the trial would have made a viable bomb was also recovered. Mr Gough said: &#8216;Naseer had told Ali to burn the note but it wasn&#8217;t done properly\u201a and Naseer later admitted he had written it.&#8217; The note detailed the chemicals\u201a the amounts and mixtures of how to make explosives\u201a although they never got as far as creating a bomb and carrying out their threats. In one chilling warning\u201a Naseer was covertly recorded saying of the UK: &#8216;The only thing you will achieve is suicide bombers on your streets\u201a spilling so much blood you&#8217;ll have nightmares for the rest of your life.&#8217; Late night: Officers pulled the terrorists over as they drove to a takeaway just before midnight Prosecution: Ashik Ali was taken from the car and is detained along with the two other men who were all found guilty of terrorism offences at Woolwich Crown Court today Capture: West Midlands Police arrested the three men in Birmingham after intercepting them in their VW as they drove through the city in September 2011 The men had been under MI5 surveillance\u201a and the bugged recordings painted a picture of incompetence as they plotted their attacks. The plot hit a snag when\u201a Rahin Ahmed\u201a the cell&#8217;s chief fundraiser\u201a who admitted the charges\u201a lost more than \u00a39\u201a000 of the group&#8217;s cash they raised in a bad investments on the money market. His fellow jihadists ordered him to sell his Honda Civic to make up the loss. Rather than sell his car\u201a he turned to payday loan firm Yes Loans to make up the missing cash\u201a but was left empty-handed when the firm ruled he did not meet their criteria. They then suggested setting up stalls around the country selling cakes and perfume and do door-to-door collections to raise cash. They also applied for bank loans worth \u00a333\u201a000 from two different branches of Barclay&#8217;s on the same day but were again unsuccessful. Scam: CCTV shows Rahin Ahmed depositing charity money they had fraudulently taken at a Barclays Bank in Moseley\u201a Birmingham Trips: Khobaib Hussain and Naweed Ali are shown here sitting and waiting for a flight from Birmingham Airport CHARITY \u2018VICTIM\u2019 OF TERROR FRAUDThe charity whose name was misused by three men to raise money for terrorism insisted today that it has improved the security of its street collections. Irfan Naseer\u201a 31\u201a Irfan Khalid\u201a 27\u201a and Ashik Ali\u201a 27\u201a all from Birmingham\u201a were part of a group which collected \u00a313\u201a500 that was supposed to be for Muslim Aid. However only around \u00a31\u201a500 of the cash actually went to the charity\u201a while the rest was intended for the group to fund terrorist atrocities. Today Muslim Aid said: &#8216;We welcome the conviction and sentencing of the individuals who were not Muslim Aid volunteers but used our name and property to collect funds illegally for their intended criminal activity. &#8216;We would like to reassure the public that we have taken steps to improve the security of our street collections and branded property. We encourage our donors to check the credentials of collectors when they are approached for donations.&#8217; The charity uses funds to support anti-poverty projects around the world\u201a including supporting elderly people and the homeless in the UK. On another occasion they decided to make a bomb out of a cold pack used for sports injuries\u201a believing it contained ammonium nitrate. They rowed over who should buy the pack &#8211; with Naseer\u201a nicknamed Chubbs\u201a refusing as he was too fat to be a believable athlete. Ali went in his place but in the end there was no ammonium nitrate in the pack they brought. When they did get round to making a bomb\u201a Ali managed to spill chemicals on his hands\u201a saying &#8216;I&#8217;ve done my fingers man\u201a is it dangerous if you get it on your fingers? It&#8217;s like acid\u201a innit?&#8217; Naseer\u201a drawing from his experience at terror camp\u201a replies: &#8216;Yeah\u201a it&#8217;s painful man. You won&#8217;t die\u201a it&#8217;ll make you ill a bit&#8217;. Realising the trail of evidence\u201a the men attempt to destroy their paperwork. But\u201a said Mr Altman\u201a they &#8216;did not make a very good job of it&#8217; as police found it largely intact in a rubbish bin in Ali&#8217;s kitchen. Eleven men and one woman have been charged over the alleged plot. Some have since pleaded guilty while others await trial. The six that have admitted terror offences\u201a who are also from Birmingham\u201a are Rahin Ahmed 26\u201a from Moseley; Mujahid Hussain\u201a 21\u201a from Yardley; Naweed Ali\u201a 25\u201a Ishaaq Hussain\u201a 21\u201a Khobaib Hussain\u201a 22\u201a and Shahid Khan\u201a 21\u201a all from Sparkhill. Salma Kabal\u201a 23\u201a of Alum Rock\u201a Birmingham\u201a will go on trial later this year\u201a accused of not alerting the authorities to the plot. Also facing trial are Rizwan\u201a of Ward End\u201a Birmingham\u201a and Bahader Ali\u201a of Sparkbrook\u201a Birmingham\u201a who deny involvement with the terror cell. CONSPIRACY : WHY DID NO ONE IN PLOTTERS\u2019 COMMUNITY TIP OFF POLICE? Nobody in the bomb plotters&#8217; own community tipped the police off with their concerns\u201a despite finding out they were sending young men to terror training camps in Pakistan. At no point during the 18-month investigation by the West Midlands counter-terrorism unit did anyone in Birmingham&#8217;s Muslim community inform on the behaviour of Irfan Naseer\u201a Irfan Khalid and Ashik Ali\u201a raising questions over the health of relations between officers and community leaders. This was despite the fact the families of four other young men recruited from Sparkhill all intervened to bring them back home the moment they found out the real reasons for them travelling to Pakistan. Detective Inspector Adam Gough\u201a senior investigating officer\u201a said the extended families of the four men had &#8216;become aware&#8217; of why they went to Pakistan but\u201a in any case\u201a &#8216;did not tell us&#8217;. Ishaaq Hussain\u201a Shahid Khan\u201a Khobaib Hussain and Naweed Ali were told to tell loved ones they were studying at madrassas if asked. Police and security services were aware the four were travelling but decided against stopping them to preserve the surveillance operation and because evidence-gathering was in the early stages. According to detectives\u201a none of the men received any terror training as they left the camps after a day. Mr Gough said: &#8216;We know pressure was applied to them to come back. &#8216;Shahid Khan virtually ran home. Three of the four came back almost immediately\u201a while the fourth stayed with his family in Pakistan. &#8216;We know that they did reach a training camp. &#8216;But it is a success story in that the families did bring those people back and it shows the vast majority of the community abhor terrorism in the same way we do.&#8217; Community engagement &#8211; under what the police call the Prevent programme &#8211; is supposed to form a cornerstone of the UK counter-terrorism policing strategy. Prevent aims to respond &#8216;to the ideological challenge of terrorism&#8217; by &#8216;developing partnerships&#8217; with communities\u201a thereby preventing people being &#8216;drawn into terrorism&#8217;. Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale\u201a who is responsible for counter-terrorism at West Midlands Police\u201a said: &#8216;The families were trying to do their best to get them back and stop them getting into trouble\u201a rather than get in touch with us. &#8216;I agree it would have been really good if more could have been shared with us\u201a and we could have dealt with it in a different way. &#8216;In terms of community engagement\u201a would I like them to come forward more? Yes\u201a I would. &#8216;Do I think they (the Muslim community) were being disruptive &#8211; no\u201a I do not.&#8217; Mr Beale also said he believed the two local charitable organisations on whose behalf the three men had masqueraded to raise money &#8220;were duped\u201a rather than being complicit&#8217;. He added: &#8216;We want to help make sure they (the charities) are not quite so easily duped in the future.&#8217; Some of that money scammed from charities was actually gambled away by another member of the group\u201a Rahin Ahmed\u201a who was given the task of playing the financial markets to try to increase the group&#8217;s cash reserves. He previously admitted engaging in conduct in preparation of acts of terror\u201a encouraging acts of terror\u201a collecting money for terrorism and assisting other to travel for training in terrorism. On one occasion\u201a Ahmed &#8211; an unemployed law graduate who was a community worker with one of the charities &#8211; lost \u00a33\u201a000 when he left his computer screen for five minutes to boil a kettle.
