<p>A devout Muslim accused of conspiring to blow up a plane while working for British Airways said he believed he was &#8220;living in sin&#8221; by taking his family to the UK.</p>
<p>But Bangladeshi Rajib Karim, 31, told a court he &#8220;never&#8221; planned a terrorist attack in Britain while working as a computer expert for the airline.</p>
<p>He said he sent messages to his brother in code because of fears over torture in Bangladesh.</p>
<p>The prosecution alleges he was communicating with a terror cell in secret email exchanges and sharing details of his BA contacts from his home in Brunton Lane, Newcastle.</p>
<p>Giving evidence at Woolwich Crown Court in London, Karim said he sent encrypted messages to his younger brother because of concerns for relatives&#8217; safety.</p>
<p>&#8220;The regime in Bangladesh is very brutal,&#8221; he told a jury.</p>
<p>Karim was helping make a video about an organisation called Jamaat-Ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) because they were being &#8220;misrepresented&#8221;, he said. He wrote to his brother because any links to groups such as JMB &#8220;may link to torture&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;That was the main reason for the encrypted information,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Karim 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>Karim has already pleaded guilty to three terror charges. He has admitted being involved in the production of a terrorist group&#8217;s video, fundraising and volunteering for terror abroad.</p>
