The jury in the London suicide bombings case has been shown footage of Mohammad Siddique Khan saying his farewells to his baby daughter.
Siddique Khan, the ringleader of the July 7th 2005 terrorist attacks on London, tells his daughter that he "has to do this thing for our future". The video was shown as part of the trial against Waheed Ali, Sadeer Saleem and Mohammed Shakil, who deny involvement in the attacks.
The home videos show Siddique Khan saying:
"Sweetheart, not long to go now and I'm going to really, really miss you a lot. I'm thinking about it already. Look, I absolutely love you to bits and you have been the happiest thing in my life. You and your mum, absolutely brilliant. I don't know what else to say.”
"I just wish I could have been part of your life, especially these growing up... these next months, they're really special with you learning to walk and things. I just so much wanted to be with you but I have to do this for our future and it will be for the best, Inshallah [God willing] in the long run.”
"But most importantly I entrust you to Allah and let Allah take care of you. And I'm doing what I'm doing for the sake of Islam, not, you know, it's not for materialistic or worldly benefits."
