<p>An Islamic extremist who landed a job as a British Airways computer expert conspired with a radical preacher to blow up a plane bound for America, a court heard.</p>
<p>In secret email exchanges with radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, Bangladeshi Rajib Karim, 31, shared details of his BA contacts and access from his home in Brunton Lane, Newcastle, the court heard.</p>
<p>Karim, who came to the UK in 2006, worked for BA in the city and had access to the airliner&#8217;s offices there and at Heathrow.</p>
<p>Woolwich Crown Court heard Karim established a deep cover, joining a gym, playing football and never airing extreme views.</p>
<p>All the the while, the prosecution allege, he was communicating with a terror cell and al-Awlaki who has never been caught and is believed to be hiding in the mountains of Yemen.</p>
<p>The defendant is accused of plotting to blow up a plane, sharing information of use to hate groups such as al-Qaida, offering to help financial or disruptive attacks on BA and gaining a UK job to &#8220;exploit terrorist purposes&#8221;, which he denies.</p>
<p>The jury of seven men and five women were told that Karim has already pleaded guilty to three terror charges.</p>
<p>Jonathan Laidlaw QC, prosecuting, said the defendant&#8217;s offences were preparing himself or others for terrorist attacks between December 2006 and his arrest in February last year.</p>
<p>He has admitted being involved in the production of a terrorist group&#8217;s video, fundraising and volunteering for terror abroad.</p>
