British Al-Qaeda Terrorist Planned to Hit Subway Stations, Hotels
[Times-UK] Sean O'Neill and Adam Fresco - The Savoy hotel, Waterloo station, the Heathrow Express, and a Tube train under the Thames were on a hitlist of targets drawn up by a British al-Qaeda terrorist, a court was told Monday. Dhiren Barot admitted planning "back-to-back" attacks on London which he hoped would emulate the Madrid train bombings that killed hundreds of commuters in March 2004. Two projects, to build a radioactive "dirty bomb" and to pack stretch limousines with gas cylinders and explosives and detonate them in car parks beneath buildings, appeared to be close to fruition when discovered in summer 2004.
