Plan To Blow Up Ministry of Sound Revealed
25/05/2006An alleged British terror cell talked of blowing up London’s Ministry of Sound nightclub, the Old Bailey heard.
Accused Jawad Akbar said no-one could “turn round and say ‘oh they were innocent’ those slags dancing around?”.
He and another member of the alleged cell linked to al-Qaeda appeared to discuss targets in surveillance tapes.
Gary Smart, the Ministry of Sound’s general manager, said in a statement read to court that 1.5 million people had visited it since it opened.
He said: “If the Ministry of Sound was to be subjected to terrorist attack, then it’s clear that the consequences could be devastating with such a large number of people in such a confined space. “The impact could result in loss of life, injury or structural damage.”
