The FBI was warned that the ringleader of the July 7 bombers attended a jihad training camp with other British Muslims a year before he carried out the London attacks, a court heard yesterday.

Mohammed Junaid Babar, a convicted supporter of al-Qaeda, said that Mohammad Sidique Khan attended the camp in Pakistan in July 2003 with one of the men accused of conspiring with the bombers.

Khan, who blew himself up on an Underground train at Edgware Road, and Mohammed Shakil even appeared in a video to promote jihad in Britain, it was alleged.

Babar told Kingston Crown Court that Khan and Mr Shakil were persuaded to attend the training camp while visiting Pakistan to find out if foreign fighters were wanted in neighbouring Afghanistan. Khan called himself Ibrahim and Mr Shakil used the name Zubair.
