This undated video image released Monday April, 14, 2008 by the British Metropolitan police, taken from a video made by Abdullah Ahmed Ali, 27, was shown to a jury at Woolwich Crown in London during the trial of eight men accused of plotting to explode home-made liquid bombs on transatlantic passenger aircraft. Jurors on Monday watched a video of a man accused of plotting to blow up trans-Atlantic aircraft, warning Western nations: "The time has come for you to be destroyed." Abdulla Ahmed Ali, 27, made the remarks in what prosecutors say was a suicide video intended to be seen after his death. In it, he says he is "over the moon that Allah has given me the opportunity to lead this blessed operation." Ali and seven other British Muslims are charged with plotting to detonate bombs aboard North America-bound airliners using liquid explosives concealed in soft drink bottles.
