  20. Pair 'were planning remote control car bomb'published at 15:24 British Summer Time 5 September 2018

    BBC News

    Two men accused of plotting a terror attack were attempting to manufacture a remotely-controlled explosive device in a laboratory above a fish and chip shop, a court has heard.

    Andy Star, 32, of the Mermaid Fish Bar in Sheffield Road, Chesterfield, and Farhad Salah, 23, were hoping to harm "infidels" using the weapon, which could be placed inside a car, prosecutors at their trial said.

    Jurors at Sheffield Crown Court were told the younger of the two men, who are both Kurdish and from Iraq, had told a contact that the vehicle could be controlled through a laptop so no-one would need to be inside.

    Jurors heard that both defendants were involved in the alleged making and testing of explosives, with the prosecutor telling them that most of this occurred in a laboratory above Star's fish and chip shop prior to their arrests in December.

    Prosecutor Anne Whyte QC told jurors: "They intended to manufacture a device which would be placed in a vehicle but controlled remotely so that they did not have to martyr themselves.

    Describing the two defendants as supporters of Islamic State, she said their intentions were "sophisticated" and "lethal".

    The two men both deny preparing an act of terrorism. Their trial is expected to last four weeks.
