Three men guilty of terror plot
Three men from Birmingham have been found guilty of being "central figures" in a terrorist bomb plot that would have been bigger than the 7/7 attacks if it had not been foiled by the authorities.
Suicide bomb plotters influenced by radical preacher
The suicide bomb plotters were influenced by the radical teachings of al-Qaeda supporter and preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, according to police.
The extremist Yemeni imam was killed by a US drone strike in September 2011 after being targeted for his support of the terror network led by Osama bin Laden.
Despite their support for al-Awlaki, the plotters - Irfan Naseer, Irfan Khalid, and Ashik Ali - distanced themselves from al-Qaeda and Khalid was covertly recorded as stating "it's not for any group, it's for Allah".
The group celebrated the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and appeared to want revenge for the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.
