Cameras captured 'suicide bomb' panic CNN.Com - World ^ \| POSTED: 8:57 a.m. EST, January 16, 2007 cnn.com LONDON, England (CNN) -- A court in London has been shown dramatic footage prosecutors say shows a would-be suicide bomber trying to detonate his bomb on a London Underground train packed with terrified passengers. Jurors at the trial of six men accused of failed attacks on London's transport system on July 21, 2005 -- two weeks after bombings that killed 52 people and wounded about 700 -- watched in silence as the CCTV footage was played in court on Tuesday. Chief prosecutor Nigel Sweeney said the images captured by cameras inside the train were of one of the accused, Ramzi Mohammed, turning a rucksack which contained a makeshift bomb towards a woman with a child in a pushchair. The footage showed passengers turning and fleeing in terror, scrambling to get away from Mohammed into adjoining carriages. As the trial opened on Monday, Sweeney told the high- security Woolwich Crown Court the defendants devised an "extremist Muslim plot" to carry out suicide bombings on London's transport system.

They were carried in rucksacks with wires connected to the detonators hidden under clothing, he said. (Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ....
