Officers discovered a courier trying to smuggle £166,000 through Heathrow Airport on a flight from the United States to Syria.
They believe the money was intended for a dissident cell of Saudi Arabians plotting to assassinate Crown Prince Abdullah. The cash, made up of a wad of US 100-dollar bills, was uncovered during a search.
Scotland Yard said the incident took place in 2003 and a man has since been convicted in connection with it. ’Plot’ to Murder Saudi King Foiled >>>
