LONDON — A British terrorist cell planned to detonate homicide bombs on seven transatlantic flights over North America, causing catastrophic loss of life, a court was told yesterday.

The flights chosen by the alleged terrorists – based in Walthamstow, East London – were scheduled to leave Heathrow Terminal 3 one afternoon carrying almost 2,000 passengers and crew.

Peter Wright, QC, opening the prosecution case against eight men accused of the plot, said that the attacks would have had “a truly global impact”.

The seven aircraft were destined for six American and Canadian cities: New York, Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto and Montreal.

Wright said that the eight defendants shared a common interest in “inflicting heavy casualties upon an innocent civilian population, all in the name of Islam”.

He told Woolwich Crown Court that the key component of the bombs was a liquid hydrogen peroxide explosive carried in half-liter bottles of soft drinks.

The devices would have been carried in hand luggage, along with detonators made from batteries and disposable cameras.

WPPM.ORG CONDEMNS TERRORIST BOMBINGS IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD ESPECIALLY AMERICA BECAUSE IT IS UNJUST AND A GRAVE CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY TO MURDER INNOCENT PEOPLE IN ORDER TO GET ATTENTION FOR A CAUSE OR CONFLICT OR TO INFLUENCE THE POLICY OF ANY NATION REGARDING A CAUSE OR CONFLICT.

WE RECOMMEND PEACEFUL AND DIPLOMATIC RESOLUTIONS OF CONFLICTS AMONG HUMAN BEINGS AND NATIONS BECAUSE VIOLENCE GIVES BIRTH TO MORE VIOLENCE AND DO NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS.

Let Us Spread The Truth, Freedom, Love And Peace all over the world

Our world is filled with evil, wars, poverty, social, economic and political as well as sexual problems, suffering and misery today because we are divided and we let these divisions force us to fight among ourselves and destroy one another.

This is foolish because all of us are the children of God and the universe and have cosmic roles to play to maintain order in the Cosmos.

If people all over the world can forget the color of their skins, religions, politics, genders, races, ethnicities, countries, states, professions, classes, and personal biases and join hands with each other to work towards spreading Truth, Love and Peace around the world, we can stop wars, crimes, injustices, abuses, discriminations, poverty, suffering and transform our world into a paradise for all to enjoy.
