Only months after masterminding the 9/11 attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center, Khalid Sheik Mohammed plotted a terror strike against London’s Canary Wharf, according to testimony in the trial of one of Mohammed’s alleged pals.
Saajid Badat, who is testifying via closed-circuit TV from London in the terror trial of hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri, told a Manhattan federal jury about Mohammed’s comments, made two weeks after 9/11.
“He talked about looking for a target that was on the West Coast of America,” Badat said.
“He also planned a possible target in the UK as well.”
Badat said Mohammed pulled out an “almanac” featuring the world’s tallest buildings, then grabbed a pen, crossed out WTC 1 and WTC 2, and began going through the book looking for new targets.
