'Hamza inspired me'

A bomb plotter who claimed to be brainwashed by Muslim prophecies and words of hate by other Muslim fanatics, has stood in the dock of the Old Bailey facing charges of 'plotting terrorism'.

Salahuddin Amin, 31 has told police how he listened to cleric of Hate, Abu Hamza, and claimed he was brainwashed by Hamza's poison.

Prosecutors at the trial stated that Amin and his cohorts were found to have 600kg of ammonium to make bombs for Al-Qaeda attacks in the UK.

He also told police that Hamza's words 'inspired' him to go to Afghnanistan and fight after listening to one of Hamza's rants outside Finsbury Park Mosque, London.

The Bomb Plot trial was unfolded at the Old Bailey as the court listened to Amin's interviews where he coolly stated, “After listening to Abu Hamza, I made up my mind that I’m going to move to Afghanistan".

In the interviews, which the court listened to, Amin confesses to being a 'go between' hoping to attain an atomic bomb from the Russian mafia, he also confesses to police that he 'felt good' about America's Twin Towers tragedy but insisted he 'regretted' the civilian deaths.

Amin, including six other Islamic fanatics, are accused of plotting terrorist attacks againt Britain, Bluewater shopping centre and the Ministry of Sound nightclub were all targets.

So far Amin and the other six fanatics deny the charges put to them.

The trial continues.
