Two extremist preachers and five other men were jailed in March 2008 over a network of military-style terrorism training camps held in picturesque locations across the English countryside.
Mohammed Hamid, who dubbed himself "Osama bin London," was jailed for at least seven and a half years.
His accomplice, Atilla Ahmet, who claimed to be the top al-Qaida organizer in Europe, was jailed for six years and 11 months.
The pair trained hundreds of recruits, including a gang of east African men who made a failed attempt to bomb London's transit network on July 21, 2005 _ two weeks after the July 7 subway and bus strikes killed 52 commuters.
Prosecutors in a trial that concluded last month said Hamid hoped his recruits could carry out six or seven major attacks in Britain before London hosted the 2012 Olympics.
Judge Christopher Pitchers said he believed Hamid's men were most likely being trained to fight overseas _ particularly in Afghanistan.
"The purpose was to go abroad to commit offenses but was no less serious for that," Pitchers said at Woolwich Crown Court, in London. "Somebody killed by a terrorist act is as serious if it is committed abroad as here."
Five other men were jailed last month on charges related to the network of camps.
During the trial, prosecutors described how men clad in mud-smeared combat fatigues rushed across British farmland, wielding sticks as mock rifles and chopping watermelons in simulated beheadings.
This fuckin country desperatly needs to increase the punishment for this stuff! Maybe they should blow up the queen then maybe the government will fuckin pay attention! Muslims need to be put in their place, if they want attention then maybe they should go about it a different way, you know, like acting like they have a brain!
