TERROR PLOT ACCUSED FACES COURT

Wednesday May 2,2007

A man is due to go on trial charged with conspiring with "dirty" bomb plotter Dhiren Barot to murder people.

Barot, 34, was jailed last year after planning atrocities on both sides of the Atlantic using explosive-packed limousines and a "dirty" bomb.

Qaisar Shaffi, 28, from Willesden, north-west London, is charged with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause an explosion or explosions likely to endanger life.

He is also accused of possessing a record of information for terrorist purposes, namely an extract from the Terrorist Handbook.

The Crown is expected to open its case at Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday.
