(M&C) - A man has pleaded guilty to soliciting murder in a plot to organise terror training camps press reports have revealed today.
Following the lifting of court restrictions, British press said an Old Bailey court heard Atilla Ahmet had admitted to encouraging others to commit murder.
The news comes as five men who have connections with Ahmet, went on trial at Woolwich Crown Court for a number of terror-related offences which all have denied.
One of the men, Mohammed Hamid, is accused of organising terrorist camps which were allegedly attended by the July 21 bombers, the court heard.
Prosecutor David Farrell said, "Hamid told the police that his name was 'Osama bin London' and on the way to the police station he said to a police officer 'I've got a bomb and I'm going to blow you all up'."
He added the training camps were designed to "foster within the participants that they were training for 'Jihad' against the 'Kuffir', or non-believers".
