AN al-Qaeda general believed to be plotting dirty bomb attacks on seven US cities could be in Britain, FBI sources said yesterday.

Adnan El Shukrijumah, who has a £2.5million bounty on his head, is suspected of planning a spectacular attack using bombs that spread radioactive waste.

The FBI are investigating the 31-year-old Saudi-born scientist’s UK links, including connections to the Midlands and Birmingham.

A US source said: “He has travelled extensively in the last seven years, and we believe this includes the UK.”
