Plan To Blow Up Ministry of Sound Revealed
May 25, 2006
An 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.”
