A man has been convicted of plotting a vehicle and weapons attack on London tourist sites, just over a year after he was cleared of attacking police with a sword outside Buckingham Palace.
Jurors at London's Woolwich Crown Court found Mohiussunnath Chowdhury guilty of preparing terrorist acts and other terrorism charges.Prosecutors said 28-year-old Chowdhury planned a van, gun or knife attack on targets including Madame Tussauds wax museum, London's gay pride parade and an open-top sightseeing bus.
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson said during the trial that Chowdhury desired to "unleash death and suffering" on non-Muslims after absorbing sermons from extremist preachers including al-Qaida's Anwar Al-Awlaki. He confided his plans to undercover police officers posing as fellow extremists and was arrested in July.
It seems the only way to stop this type of incident is to keep the offenders locked away indefinitely.
