Terror Suspect Admits Preparing Ricin
A terror suspect on trial in London admitted during a videotaped interview with police that he prepared ricin, but said he never used the toxin, the Associated Press reported yesterday. Salahuddin Amin, 31, is one of seven men being tried in connection with an alleged plot to detonate a fertilizer bomb in London. Amin said he and a co-defendant were taught to manufacture a bomb using ammonium nitrate fertilizer during a 2003 trip to Pakistan. They actually set off one explosive in a river. He also acknowledged receiving instruction on the preparation of ricin, according to the tape played by prosecutors. Amin said he had been “brainwashed” by Islamist extremists before leaving the United Kingdom for Pakistan. “I would say I did get mixed up with terrorists and I really regret that,” he told police. He denied, though, being a terrorist himself or having plans to detonate explosives at any location, AP reported. The trial began in March and could continue for months (Tariq Panja, Associated Press/Yahoo!News, July 24).
