Kurdish Fatah Abdullah, 35, learned how to make a pressure cooker bomb to teach his continental conspirators Omar Babek and Ahmed Hussein. He bought more than 8,000 matches, explosive precursors, fireworks, fuses and a remote control detonator, the Old Bailey heard. Abdullah, who was granted asylum in the UK, was arrested a month before Hussein and Babek were caught last January. Mr Justice Sweeney today sentenced him to concurrent life sentences with a minimum term of nine years. The judge said Abdullah was a dangerous offender and his 'ultimate aim' was to 'cause mass murder in Germany'.
