UK Man who plotted Army centre attack can be freed

A British terrorist who plotted an al Qaida-inspired attack in Luton can be freed from prison, the Parole Board has decided.

Zahid Iqbal discussed sending a remote-controlled toy car carrying a home-made bomb under the gates of a Territorial Army (TA) centre.

He and fellow plotter Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed spoke about making an improvised explosive device using instructions in a manual entitled Make A Bomb In The Kitchen Of Your Mom, by “the Al Qaida chef”.
