Birmingham Men Admit Terrorism Plot

Two more Birmingham men have pleaded guilty to involvement in a suicide bomb terrorism plot in the UK.

Bahader Ali and Mohammed Rizwan admitted engaging in conduct in preparation of acts of terrorism.

The is follows a trial in February in which Ali's brother, Ashik Ali and two other men, Irfan Naseer and Irfan Khalid, were found guilty of planning to be suicide bombers.

Six other men have also previously admitted terrorism charges, and all are due to be sentenced later this month.

All the men were arrested in 2011 amid fears that an attack was imminent.
