OTTAWA-A Canadian software developer designed a remote bomb detonator he called the "hi-fi digimonster" to be used in planned attacks in the United Kingdom, an Ottawa court heard on Monday.In a highly detailed opening statement, prosecutor David McKercher said Momin Khawaja, 29, was "directly involved" in the British bomb plot, and met with members of a terrorist cell during visits to the U.K. in 2003 and 2004.Khawaja also attended a paramilitary training camp in Pakistan, where he learned how to use an assault rifle and rocket-propelled grenade launcher, McKercher told the court.McKercher said the court would hear evidence during the trial that Khawaja was part of "a plan to build and detonate a 600-kilogram (1,300 pound) ammonium nitrate-based fertilizer bomb that could cause massive destruction and loss of life."He faces seven charges centering on the use of explosives, participating in a terrorist group and financing a terrorist group, and could face life in prison if found guilty.The clean-shaven Khawaja waved and smiled to a member of the public from the prisoner's dock before pleading not guilty to all counts. He wore a dark grey suit and his hair was pulled back into two braids behind his ears.British police have already named Khawaja as co-conspirator in the case of five men who were jailed for life last year for a thwarted plan to bomb nightclubs, trains and a shopping center in Britain.He did not stand trial in Britain, but has been in jail for more than four years as his trial was delayed by legal wrangling.To read more go to:
