Yesterday at Woolwich crown court five men were convicted under new legislation after attending al-Qaida-style terror camps.

Mohammed Hamid, who called himself 'Osama Bin London', was found guilty of training men including the failed July 21st bombers at camps in the Lake District and the New Forest.

Atilla Ahmet, another of Britain's main Islamist terror recruiters, was convicted of soliciting murder, while Kiblet da Costa, Mohammed al-Figari and Kader Ahmed were found guilty of attending the camps.

Mobile phone footage found at one of the addresses searched after the men were first arrested proved crucial in securing their convictions.

In the three clips below, Da Costa is seen holding a stick and changing stance; doing forward rolls; and jumping over a river at a training camp in the New Forest between April 28th 2006 and May 1st 2006.

In another clip released by the Metropolitan police, an unidentified member of the group cuts a melon imitating the action of a beheading.

The five men had been brought to trial after an undercover police officer infiltrated the terror camps and covertly recorded their meetings and training methods.

The Met has published two extracts of the undercover officer's recordings, in which Hamid is heard giving instructions to the group and claiming the 52 people murdered in the July 7th bombings were "not even a breakfast for me".

Speaking yesterday, the crown prosecution service (CPS) said the verdict was a landmark ruling and should act as a warning to others.

"The verdicts in this case should act as a warning to those who would recruit, train and urge others to kill innocent people, no matter what the perceived cause, that the CPS will continue to prosecute terrorism cases with vigour," said Deborah Wales deputy head of the counterterrorism division.
