HINDU WHO SYMPATHISED AND ASSOCIATED WITH ISLAMIC TERRORISTS SENTENCED TO LIFE FOR PLOTTING TO KILL THOUSANDS IN UK AND US

Dhiren Barot, 34 from London, who planned to kill thousands of people in the UK and US, has this week been sentenced to life and told he must serve at least 40 years in jail. He admitted conspiracy to murder.

The judge told Barot that if he had been passing a determinate sentence it would have been 80 years, but as he had passed a life sentence the tariff he attached was half that, a minimum of 40 years in jail before he can be considered for release.

The prosecution told Woolwich Crown Court that Barot intended a "memorable black day" of terror and considered using a radioactive "dirty bomb". Mr Justice Butterfield said the plot could have seen carnage on a "colossal and unprecedented scale" if successful. Barot, a Hindu who sympathised and associated with Islamic terrorists, is also wanted by US authorities over charges of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction in the US and in Yemen.

The judge told him: "This was no noble cause. Your plans were to bring indiscriminate carnage, bloodshed and butchery first in Washington, New York and Newark, and thereafter the UK on a colossal and unprecedented scale."

The court heard Barot prepared meticulous plans for a series of synchronised attacks in the UK. "The central plan was for the construction and deployment in a basement car park underneath a building of an improvised explosive device using gas cylinders hidden in limousines," said Edmund Lawson QC, prosecuting.

Mr Lawson added it was to be launched simultaneously with other attacks including a dirty bomb, an attack on trains, and the hijacking of petrol tankers to be rammed into a target. In the document, Barot had written his primary objective of the project was to "inflict mass damage and chaos".

The court heard Barot's plot also included plans to detonate a bomb under the River Thames to flood the Tube network and potentially drown hundreds of commuters. Barot also planned to strike a number of US financial institutions. His plans for bombings in the US were initiated before the 11 September attacks.

Barot's plans were found on a laptop computer seized during a raid on a house in Gujarat, in July 2004. Barot from Kingsbury, north-west London, was arrested by armed police the next month.

Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch head, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, called Barot a "determined and experienced terrorist" who attended training camps in 1995. "For well over two years we have been unable to show the British public the reality of the threat they faced from this man. Now they can see for themselves the full horror of his plan."

The investigation into plotter Dhiren Barot was unusual for its vast scale and the complexity of the evidence, Scotland Yard has said. Codenamed Operation Rhyme, it saw 4,000 garages and lock-ups visited and the seizure of nearly 300 computers and around 1,800 items of discs, CDs and removable storage.

The case also involved a wide range of investigative methods, including forensic linguistics, to prove the authorship of documents, facial mapping, computer forensics and handwriting analysis.

Until the 7 July London suicide bombings, it was the largest counter-terrorist investigation launched in the UK. The Met's counter-terrorism chief, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, described Barot's arrest and conviction as a "landmark" in the fight against terrorism. "He is a full-time terrorist. His training showed through. He used anti-surveillance, coded messages and secret meetings, but he could not evade capture," he said.

Despite such a thorough investigation, some questions about Barot remain unanswered - detectives still have little idea what he was doing in 2002 and 2003, why as a Hindu he decided to sympathise and associate with Islamic terrorists and whether he did or did not convert to Islam.

Profile - Dhiren Barot

Dhiren Barot, a Hindu schoolboy was raised in a modest London suburb. He was 12 months old when his parents immigrated to England in 1972 from Baroda, India. He became a British citizen and attended a well-thought of secondary school, where he was a studious but average pupil.

Friends say he planned a career in hotel management and had normal teenage interests such as fashion and music. After finishing school in 1988, he worked at travel agencies, hotels and as an airline ticket clerk.

At the age of around 20 — in 1992 — Barot started to sympathise and associate with Islamic extremists, inspired by stories of Muslims being killed in fighting in Chechnya, Kashmir and Somalia. Barot began to frequently discuss how to help "oppressed" Islamic people abroad and told associates he had become affected by the "horror" of what was being described to him.

In September 1995, Barot left his job as an airline ticket clerk in London, saying that he was going on a prolonged trip overseas. He went to Pakistan and later to a terrorist training camp in the disputed territory of Kashmir, officials said. There, he was given instruction in using weapons and explosives, a pattern that was to be repeated in a later trip to the Philippines in 1999, according to court documents.

Prosecutors said Barot learned skills such as "how to blow up a bridge" and details on making toxic poisons such as ricin and botulinum. Barot travelled to the United States in August 2000 on the pretence of enrolling as a student and cased targets, prosecutors said. On March 11, 2001, six months before the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington, he carried out specific reconnaissance for future terrorist atrocities. In April, he filmed buildings in New York, including the World Trade Centre.
