AN OXFORD synagogue may have been the target of a Muslim terror suspect accused of plotting to bomb civilian targets, a court heard.
The Old Bailey heard how the synagogue in Richmond Road, Oxford, appeared on a 12-page list of synagogues found in a desk at the house of Omar Khyam, 24. Khyam is one of seven British Muslims accused of planning to bring carnage to Britain with a fertiliser bomb blast.
The Old Bailey heard how the lists had been compiled from at least two websites and included scores of locations of Jewish places of worship from Manchester to London.
A copy of cleric Abu Hamza's book Khawaarij Jihad was also found in a wardrobe at Khyam's home. Forensic officers discovered the fingerprints of Khyam and suspect Shujah Mahmood, both of Crawley, West Sussex, on the papers, the jury heard.
The case continues.
