British Muslim Jailed

Andrew Rowe, 34, a Muslim convert from west London, had instructions on firing a mortar and a secret terrorism code.

The court heard an al-Qaeda tape was found at his former home, and that he had spent years travelling, "furthering the cause of Muslim fundamentalism".

The judge said Rowe had been on the verge of an act of terror when he was arrested at the Channel Tunnel in 2003.

He was arrested at the French end of the tunnel while returning to the UK from Germany.

Rowe, a father of four from Maida Vale who is estranged from his wife, was jailed for seven and a half years on the two charges, making a total of 15 years.
