(Report by Sean Rayment, Security Correspondent, and
Massoud Ansari in Islamabad: "Five Suspects Learnt Bomb
Skills at Al-Qalida Camps")
(OSC Transcribed Text)
Five of the suspects behind the plot to blow up
transatlantic airliners learnt bomb-making skills in Ai-
(:?a'ida training camps,- The Sunday Telegraph can reveal..
The plotters, all of wnom are Britons of Pakistani or:igin,
also recorded "martyrdom videos", which were to be released
by Al-Qa'ida in the immediate 'aftermath of the attacks,
according to Pakistan intelligence services.
The suspects are understood to have travelled to Pakistan
during the past 24 months and were taken to camps in the
border region with Afghanistan where they were taught bomb
-
making skills and received weapons training by Al-Qa'ida
instructors. It is
understood that some of the suspects visited the region at
the same time as the London bombers Mohammad Sldique Khan
and Shehzad Tanweer.
It was during these visits that the five unnamed men
recorded the videos in which they are said to have
"boasted" of their atrocities and their desire to become
"martyrs".
American intelligence has also confirmed. that at least two
of the suspects held in last Thursday's raids had received
explosives training with household chemicals in Karachi and
had met Al-Qa'ida operatives in the buildup to the 7/7
attacks.
Details of the extent of the Pakistan connection came as
the country's intelligence service, the ISI, revealed that
it had arrested Rashid Rauf, a British man, described as
being a senior Al-csiida figure. Rauf, who was arrested in
a carefully planned
covert operation has been described as the "brains" behind
the attack to bring down at least 10 American airliners
over the north Atlantic.
He is also the brother of Tayib Rauf, 22, one of the 23
suspects, aged 17-3!5, who are in custody after a series of
raids across the country early last Thursday morning.
Security sources believe that Rashid Rauf, 25, also helped
in the training of the young British Muslim suspects, who
had been recruited to carry out the suicide attacks.
