Overseas Mobile Phone was Meant to Trigger Terror

According to a British report, mobile phones in Australia were intended to trigger car bombs in the U.K.

British newspaper Daily Star, says investigations by police had uncovered a plan to set off the fuel-packed Mercedes outside London’s Tiger Tiger nightclub, from an Australian mobile phone.

The newspaper has alleged that terrorists in both countries conspired to explode the bombs remotely, by calling a mobile phone in the explosives laden car.

Eight people, including Indian doctor Mohammed Haneef in Australia, are still being held by police for questioning in relation to last week’s two bomb attack attempts in central London and another at Glasgow Airport.

Meanwhile, Australian Attorney-General Philip Ruddock, has played down the Daily Star report and says it does not appear to be accurate.

On Australia’s Channel Nine, he said the story mis-states what is in the public arena.

“And that is some of the people who had been in the United Kingdom who have now come to Australia as temporary residents left behind telephones and SIM cards which other people were using.

“I’m not sure there is a direct connection.” src
