LONDON (Reuters) - Two men appeared in court on Friday, charged under anti-terrorism laws with planning to carry out a car bombing in Britain, possibly on a hospital, police said.
Waseem Mughal and Younis Tsouli, both British and aged 22, are accused of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause an explosion, along with other offences.
Mughal faces 10 charges and Tsouli eight.
A third man, Tariq Al-Daour, 19, has been charged with three offences relating to the possession of money and fund-raising for terrorist purposes.
All three appeared at Bow Street Magistrates court in central London where they were remanded to return to London’s Old Bailey court on November 18.
In court the men, wearing sweatshirts and tracksuit trousers, only spoke to confirm their names and ages. They were arrested last month.
Police said the alleged plot had no connection with the July 7 suicide bomb attacks on London’s transport system when four Britons killed 52 commuters on three underground trains and a double-decker bus.
They said Tsouli was accused of having video film showing how to make a car bomb.
He was also charged with possessing slides of places in Washington in the United States which detectives suspect was “for a purpose connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism.”
Mughal was accused of possessing a DVD entitled “Martyrdom Operations Vest,” a piece of paper with the words in Arabic “Welcome to Jihad” and a recipe for rocket propellant, along with guidance on causing an explosion.
Officers also charged Mughal with possessing a piece of paper with the words “Hospital = attack.”
An police spokesman said this was possibly a “terrorist code” but also had to be considered “at face value.”
Two days ago, the head of London’s police force Ian Blair said anti-terrorism detectives had thwarted attempted attacks in the last few weeks and warned that Britain faced a repeat of the July 7 bombings.
Two weeks after those explosions, an attempt to repeat the attacks was botched when four devices failed to explode.
