Two members of a terrorist cell are facing jail after admitting their involvement in a suicide bomb plot to rival the 9/11 attacks.
Bahader Ali, 29, and Mohammed Rizwan, 34, gathered funds and information to support plans for the largest terrorist atrocity ever carried out on UK soil.
The pair, from Birmingham, were part of a terrorist cell which had converted a council house into a bomb factory to prepare for the attacks.
Guilty: Bahader Ali, left, and Mohammed Rizwan who today admitted they were involved in a terror plot 'to rival the 9/11 attacks' at Woolwich Crown Court
Terror conspiracy: Irfan Naseer, 31, Irfan Khalid and Ashik Ali, both 27, were last month convicted of being the ringleaders of the plot to commit the largest ever atrocity carried out on UK soil
Irfan Khalid, 28, Irfan Naseer, 31, and Ashik Ali, 28, were convicted last month of being the ringleaders of a plot for a series of suicide bombings across the UK.
The trio were secretly recorded boasting their murderous campaign would be 'another 9/11' as they practised making bombs and identified possible targets.
Naseer and Khalid twice travelled to Pakistan to learn about bomb-making, weapons and poisons, returning to Birmingham to share their expertise.
Members of the cell posed as charity collectors during Ramadan to raise funds for the attacks, raking in around £15,000 but then wasting the cash on bad investments and buying a car.
But members of the terrorist cell were arrested in September 2011 before any attacks could take place.

Bahader Ali, the older brother of Ashik, and Rizwan were due to stand trial at Woolwich Crown Court, having initially denied their involvement in the plot.
But they both admitted terrorism charges today.
Bearded Ali, dressed in a blue smock and skull cap, confessed to posing as a charity collector to raise funds for the attacks, and collecting information between July and September 2011.
Rizwan, also in a smock and grey head cap, admitted gathering information for terrorist attacks.

Mr Justice Henriques ordered two additional charges of gathering information for terrorism to lie on the court file.
He set down a three-day sentencing hearing to take place on April 22, when all members of the terrorist cell will be sentenced.
Ali, from Birmingham, admitted engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts and entering into a funding arrangement for the purposes of terrorism.
Rizwan, also from Birmingham, admitted engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts.
