British police claim they kept Barot under surveillance for months. The surveillance yielded 300 documents and 1,800 CDs of incriminating evidence. The police claim that a raid in Pakistan led them to Barot. Barot had a large collection of publications and notes on how to make explosives. His home in London was a huge storehouse of material on how to spread terror and cause widespread destruction.
Police also claimed that Barot even met 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. In fact, it was Mohammed, arrested in 2003, led the cops to Barot. Once Barot got into the jihadi network in 1995 he went to Pakistan occupied Kashmir to take extensive training in arms.
