Nine men who plotted to bomb the London Stock Exchange and build a terrorist training camp have been jailed.

Three of the men - all members of an al-Qaeda inspired terror group - received indeterminate sentences for public protection at London's Woolwich Crown Court.

The court heard they had planned to raise funds for a terrorist camp in Pakistan and recruit Britons to attend.

The men come from Stoke-on-Trent, Cardiff and London.

The three to receive indeterminate sentences were Mohammed Shahjahan 27, of Stoke-on-Trent, who was jailed for a minimum term of eight years and 10 months.

Usman Khan, 20, and Nazam Hussain, 26, also from Stoke-on-Trent, were ordered to serve at least eight years.

Other sentences were:

Mohammed Chowdhury: 13 years, 8 months
Gurukanth Desai: 12 years
Omar Latif: 10 years, 4 months
Abdul Miah: 16 years, 10 months
Mohibur Rahman: 5 years
Shah Rahman: 12 years

All nine men were arrested in December 2010. Each pleaded guilty to terrorism charges on the eve of their trial at Woolwich Crown Court.

After the sentence outside the court in London supporters of those men jailed got in angry confrontations with Police Staff/Guards and the BBC News cameras had to cut away.

Good news the men jailed are off the streets!
