An Islamic terrorist sleeper who infiltrated British Airways was convicted today of preparing Britain's own 9/11 attack.
Rajib Karim, 31, plotted with one of the world's most wanted terrorists intent on delivering devastation to rival the Twin Towers attack in New York or the 7/7 London Tube and bus bombs by blowing up a transatlantic aircraft.
The software engineer was instructed by Yemeni preacher Anwar al-Awlaki to take advantage of the BA strike and train as cabin crew.
His attempt failed, but Karim was intent on martyrdom.
