FACTBOX - "Martyrdom videos" of airline bomb suspects

LONDON (Reuters) - Six of the eight Britons accused of plotting to blow up at least seven transatlantic airliners recorded martyrdom videos, a London court heard on Friday.

Clips from the videos and extracts were played or read to the jury by the prosecution at the trial at Woolwich Crown Court in east London.

Abdullah Ahmad Ali, 27, Assad Sarwar, 27, Tanvir Hussain, 27, Mohammed Gulzar, 26, Ibrahim Savant, 27, Arafat Khan, 26, Waheed Zaman, 23, and Umar Islam, 29. All are charged with conspiracy to murder.

They are also accused of plotting "to commit an act of violence likely to endanger the safety of an aircraft". They deny the charges.

Here are some of the extracts from the alleged martyrdom videos:

UMAR ISLAM

"This is revenge for the actions of the USA in the Muslim lands and their accomplices such as the British and the Jews.

"This is a warning to the non-believers that if they do not leave our lands there are many more like us and many more like me ready to strike until the law of Allah is established on this earth."

"Martyrdom operations upon martyrdom operations will keep on raining on these Kuffar (non-believers) until they release you and leave our lands."
