Terror gang discussed killing 1,000 people with poisoned hand cream

Irfan Naseer, the alleged ringleader, said people would start dying within five minutes of coming in to contact with it when they went to work in the morning.

The Muslim group also talked about getting guns from the “black geezers” and storming in to a synagogue and other places, Woolwich Crown Court heard.

The al-Qaeda inspired gang, from Birmingham, is accused of plotting to use eight suicide bombers to detonate rucksacks packed with explosives in crowded places to cause “mass death” and carnage on the streets of Britain.

Naseer, 31, Irfan Khalid, 27, and Ashik Ali, 27, all unemployed from Birmingham, are the alleged “senior members” and were among 12 people arrested and charged last year.

The trio deny between them a total of 12 terror charges including planning a bombing campaign, recruiting others for terrorism and terrorism fund-raising.

Conversations between them and others were secretly recorded by the police.

In one Naseer, who is known as Chubbs, talks about other methods of killing people he was taught about while allegedly undergoing terror training in Pakistan.

He said: "Make it and put it inside like, you know like Vaseline or cream like that, like Nivea cream and put it on people's cars.

"You know like the door handles on a whole, imagine putting it on whole like area innit overnight and when they come in the morning to work they start touching the, they open the door and then five minutes they die man, all of them start dying and that, kill about 1,000 people."

He added: “Even if we can't make a bomb, get guns yeah from the black geezers, Africans and charge in some like synagogue or charge in different places.”

Earlier, the jury heard how Naseer justified attacking non-believers because they have “sex like donkeys”, orgies and took drugs.

He said: “They wanna you know have sex like donkeys on the street, they wanna club, act like animals and why shouldn’t we terrorise them, tell me that?”

Brian Altman QC, prosecuting, told the jury: “He is disdainful of Western values so why should he not terrorise them.”

Naseer also explained how just a one kilo bomb could kill 25 people and injure up to 60 people if it was packed with nails and steel nuts.

He said that al-Qaeda wanted jihadists to “do Europe” and raised the prospect of a second string of suicide bombers after his group’s attack.

Mr Altman said had the plot been permitted to run its course it “would have culminated in death and injury on a massive scale”.

The jury also heard how Ali’s estranged wife had allegedly offered to be a “fourth lion” or “lioness” in reference to the spoof film, Four Lions.

Salma Kabal was trying to reconcile her relationship but Ali told her it wouldn’t happen because he was going abroad to fight jihad.

Mr Altman said he told her she could not go with him because he was planning to carry out a suicide attack on British soil.

Ali alledgedly told Kabal: “Oh you think this is a flipping Four Lions. We're one man short, there's three of us."

He went on: "We ain't Four Lions yet."

To which Ms Kabal allegedly replied: "I'll be your fourth one."

Ali said: "You can't be the fourth one."

Kabal is accused of knowing about her husband's activities and is due to stand trial next year.

The trial continues.
