Terror plot against London Jews uncovered

An Al-Qaeda poison plot uncovered in Britain reportedly targeted Jews. The "Independent" newspaper reported on Thursday that an Algerian terrorist, convicted of preparing large quantities of ricin, planned to use it against the London Jewish community. A British court found the Algerian, who had trained in an Al-Qaeda camp in Afghanistan before moving to London, guilty but acquitted eight other defendants in the case. It was the first conviction under tough anti-terror laws introduced by Britain after the 9/11 attacks in the United States.
