Fanatical British Muslims are using the internet to plot a fresh wave of terror to mark the sixth anniversary of 9/11, The People can reveal.
We have infiltrated a string of vile websites that spell out in chilling detail how to bring carnage to the UK.
Crude bomb-making instructions have been circulated on the web for years. But we found expert videos showing wannabe killers how to create home-made bombs, chemicals and poisons for mass murder.
Some are even based on stolen guides written for US and British military chiefs.
Five days ago, German cops smashed an alleged Islamic fundamentalist cell recruited through the internet.
But despite the setback, al-Qaeda increasingly use websites to give lessons in terror as they are harder to track than fanatics travelling to foreign training camps.
The sites we found include step-by-step guides to making:
- Suicide bomb belts similar to the ones used in the 7/7 London attacks;
- Car bombs packed with gas canisters like those used in the botched attempts to blow up a London club and Glasgow airport in June; and
- Deadly ricin poison and DIY chemical agents.
Others include manuals with titles like The Mujahideen Explosives Handbook and The Mujahideen Poisons Handbook.
Security analyst Charles Shoebridge said: "Academic interest aside, there seems little point in possessing these collections other than to learn terrorist tradecraft.
"There are likely to be individuals using this type of material to plot terror attacks."
And he warned: "These sites are more dangerous than the propaganda sites that have so far dominated public concern.
"For example, only a proportion of those interested in radical Islam become terrorists. But ANYONE with terrorist intent, Islamist or not, would find these sites extremely useful."
He added: "As the authorities begin to tackle training in places such as Pakistan, distance-learning in terrorist techniques - which is largely web-based - becomes ever more important."
For security reasons, we are not naming the specific sites we accessed - or giving details of bombs and terror methods.
Over the past year we have highlighted the growing use of the net by UK extremists, including the creation of cyber-mosques where clerics preach hate against the nation that gives them shelter.
And Mr Shoebridge warned it was time for counter-terror chiefs to act against websites which peddle messages of murder. He said: "Within the UK, inciting or glorifying terrorism are already criminal offences - but as yet there have been few web-related prosecutions.
"It may prove more effective for the authorities to pursue not only those who create the sites but also the internet service providers behind them."
SUICIDE BOMB JACKETS
A sick 26-minute film shows how to pack a suicide belt with high explosives and shrapnel - to cause maximum loss of life.
It then recreates a bus blast like the one that killed 14 people on a London bus in the 7/7 horror.
A callous voiceover in Arabic says: "When the person who will be wearing this wants to blow himself up, he must be facing the front with his back towards the back."
POISONS
A horrific 23-page manual spells out a series of recipes for killer poisons.
It details toxins like arsenic and cyanide but also looks at poisons that can be made from everyday items such as tobacco, potatoes, cornflour and mushrooms.
The writer admits some recipes are not yet perfect but adds: "It is hoped brothers who work on this will research further and carry out their own experiments - preferably on non-Muslims."
HOW TO MAKE RICIN
Deadly ricin is made from castor beans - and is an al-Qaeda favourite.
Several videos give step-by-step guides to extract the poison.
In one, a presenter says: "It is one of the most toxic organic substances. One two thousandth of a grain is lethal." He then calmly shows how to make it as if he were a Blue Peter host.
Other sites feature the US patent for ricin - including a diagram and a precise recipe for making it.
BUILD A GAS CAR BOMB
A vile video highlights how to use gas canisters in car-bombs - in a chilling echo of June's failed terror attacks in London and Glasgow.
The 14-minute film ends with footage of a similar bomb going off in Iraq - allegedly killing 35 non-Muslims.
A voiceover says: "Let it be known the brothers chose the time of their gathering to carry out the operation in order to kill and torture them."
