'Terror plotters stole charity cash'

Members of the public were duped into donating thousands of pounds to fund a massive suicide terror attack planned for Britain, a court has heard.

Irfan Naseer, 31, Irfan Khalid and Ashik Ali, both 27, were among a group of men who posed as collectors from the Muslim Aid (MA) charity, complete with T-shirts and hi-vis tabards, to carry out street collections and door-to-door pleas for cash in Birmingham and Leicester last year, their trial at Woolwich Crown Court heard.
