Mohammed Naveed Bhatti, Junade Feroze, Zia Ul Haq, Abdul Aziz Jalil, Omar Abdur Rehman, Qaisar Shaffi and Nadeem Tarmohamed were vital to his deadly plans to attack the UK and the US, Woolwich Crown Court was told.

Barot was jailed for life last year for plotting to kill "hundreds if not thousands" of people using explosives-packed limousines and a "dirty" radiation bomb.

Mr Justice Butterfield said the men had helped a "determined and dedicated terrorist" with "cowardly", "wicked" schemes.

Home Secretary John Reid said their goal was "mass murder, mass panic and utter devastation" and the case "showed the extent of the very real and serious threat the UK faces from terrorism".

Jalil, 34, from Luton, Bedfordshire, was jailed for 26 years, Feroze, 31, from Blackburn, Lancashire, for 22 years and Bhatti, 27, from Harrow, north London and Tarmohamed, 29, from Willesden, north west London, for 20 years each.

Ul Haq, 28, from Paddington, west London, was given 18 years and Rehman, 23, from Bushey, Hertfordshire, and Shaffi, 28, from Willesden, north west London, 15 years each.

Shaffi was convicted of conspiracy to murder after a month-long trial which ended this week. The other six pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life.

Muslim convert Barot, 35, of Harrow, north west London, planned co-ordinated attacks on symbolic buildings in three cities on the eastern seaboard of the US, including the New York Stock Exchange and the World Bank, the court was told.
