Mohammed Junaid Babar
Mohammed Junaid Babar is the prosecution's star witness. He was flown to London to give evidence in the case, and arrived at court amid heavy security, driven from a police station in an armoured convoy with a helicopter overhead.
The prosecution claims that he was part of the plot and "has an insight as an insider into the events and plans, which an outsider could not have."
He has been given immunity from prosecution in relation to the charges the British defendants face.
He claims to have stolen three computers from a software company he worked for in Peshawar and given them to Mahmood because they were needed by Al Qaeda. The company was run by the older brother of one of the founder members of al-Muhajiroun.
The counsel for the defence called this witness "a liar, nothing more than a conceited fantasist."
