A convicted al-Qaeda bomb-maker serving a jail sentence in Northern Ireland carried out dummy runs for a potential terrorist plot at Dublin and Knock airports, The Observer can reveal.
This Muslim terrorists is only doing 6 years but it's clear from the report that there's more to this guy.
He was arrested after a joint MI5-PSNI operation in 2003 and information on his PC showed he had advanced a method of adapting ordinary electronic devices - including a cassette recorder - to detonate explosives in an aircraft.
Boutrab was convicted of possessing information on bomb-making and sentenced to six years' imprisonment. Evidence given at his trial stated that he was part of the al-Qaeda plot to smuggle the bomb on to an aircraft and detonate the device as it circled over a major American city.
Note he was arrested and they found this evidence in 2003. Note also the recent foiled attempt to blow up 10 airliners here in the UK, involved blowing them up over US cities.
Sadly, eventually they will succeed.
