Gas-attack plot alleged TUBE 'CYANIDE PLOT' Three men have been charged over an alleged terrorist plot to release cyanide gas on the London Underground tube network. The men are north African muslims said to belong to a group linked to al Qaeda. The alleged plot was foiled after the group was infiltrated by MI5 agents in a six month operation. Six men were arrested. Three were charged. Custody The men are thought to be of either Tunisian or Moroccan background and belong to a group called the North African Front, said to have loose connections with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network. Rabah Chekat-Bais, 21, Rabah Kadris, in his mid 30s, and Karim Kadouri, 33, all of no fixed abode, were charged under Section 57 of the Terrorism Act 2000 for the possession of articles for the preparation, instigation and commission of terrorism acts. Unemployed Chekat-Bais appeared before Bow Street Magistrates Court, in central London, last Monday and Kadris and Kadouri, also both unemployed, appeared in court on Tuesday. The three men were remanded in custody and will re-appear in court on Monday. Details of the hearing have only just emerged in reports in The Sunday Times newspaper. Bomb Assistant editor Nicholas Rufford told Sky News: "There were six arrests originally, three people were released, only three were charged. "And those have been charged under section 57 of the Act which relates to carrying articles which could be used for terrorist purposes. "My understanding is that no chemical or bomb-making equipment was recovered. So that suggests that the equipment or the materials may still be out there and as far as I understand the investigation is continuing. "The plan, I believe, was to bring the ingredients of a gas bomb into the country. As far as I know, as far as I understand, the materials never arrived. "Certainly if they did arrive they haven't yet been found or intercepted." Scotland Yard refused to comment but police sources confirmed the arrests.
