Five who trained at Osama bin London's terror camps jailed

Instructor who set up exercises in New Forest and preacher
linked to Abu Hamza await sentence for soliciting to murder

Five London men were yesterday jailed under new anti-terrorist
legislation for taking part in al-Qaida-style training camps in
the New Forest and at paintballing sessions in the home counties.
The sentences ranged between four years 11 months and three
years five months. Their terrorist instructor, who dubbed himself
"Osama bin London", and a preacher they recognised as their "amir",
or leader, were convicted of soliciting to murder. Both will be
sentenced next week.

Three of those jailed yesterday - Mohammed al-Figari, Kader Ahmed
and Kibley da Costa - attended camps in Cumbria and a paintballing
centre alongside most of those later convicted over the failed 21/7
attacks on the London transport system. The paintballing outing took
place just over two weeks before the abortive bombing in 2005.

The five-month trial at Woolwich crown court was the first to test
two new offences - introduced under the Terrorism Act 2006 - of
providing training for terrorism and attending a place for the
purpose of terrorist training.
