Prosecutors at the trial of seven men accused of attempting to bomb trans-Atlantic airliners in 2006 have told the court that the defendents had recorded martyrdom videos in which they said that they and others would "fight until the law of Allah is established on this earth".
A video featuring one defendant, Umar Islam, showed him sitting in front of a black flag with Arabic writing, and telling the camera that the attacks are "a warning for the non-believers that if they do not leave our lands there are many more like us and many more like me until the law of Allah is established on this Earth."
Another defendant called Islam (who is a Muslim convert formerly known as Brian Young) described his planned actions as "revenge" for the actions of the United States and its "accomplices such as the British and the Jews", saying:
"This is a warning for the non-believers that if they do not leave our lands there are many more like us and many more like me until the law of Allah is established on this Earth."
"Now without doubt your dead are in hellfire, while the Muslims that die due to your acts will be in paradise."
