A video of Mohammad Sidique Khan, the ringleader of the July 7th London bombings, saying goodbye to his baby daughter was shown in court today.
Khan, one of the four British Islamists who killed 52 in suicide bombings on the capital's transport network in 2005, made the video in November 2004, before he went to Pakistan with fellow bomber Shehzad Tanweer, Kingston Crown Court heard.
"Sweetheart, I've not got too long to go now and I'm going to really, really miss you a lot. You've been the happiest thing in my life," Khan is heard saying on the video, while holding his daughter in his arms.
The video was one of two shown to the jury at the trial of three men accused of helping the bombers plot their attacks.
Waheed Ali (24) Mohammed Shakil (31) and Sadeer Saleem (27) from Beeston, Leeds, all deny a charge of conspiracy to cause explosions and say that although they knew the bombers, their friendship was innocent.
In the first video shown to the court, Khan (30) says how much he will miss seeing his daughter growing up.
"I wish I could have been part of your life," he said. "I just so much wanted to be with you but I have to do this thinking for our future and it will be for the best, Inshallah (God willing) in the long run.
"But most importantly I entrust you to Allah and let Allah take care of you. And I'm doing what I'm doing for the sake of Islam ... it's not for materialistic or worldly benefits."
The court was also shown a second video, made the month before, in which Khan takes his daughter to see her "uncles", Tanweer, Ali and Hasib Hussain, another of the London bombers.
Ali is shown getting up from the floor and kissing his flexed bicep.
The court has already been told that Ali and co-defendants are accused of helping the July 7th bombers scout for potential targets in the capital.
During a reconnaissance weekend seven months before the bombings, two of the accused visited the London Eye, the Natural History Museum and the London Aquarium, prosecutors said.
The court has also heard the men had extensive contact with the bombers, which had been uncovered through mobile records, fingerprints on documents, family videos and surveillance.
The trial continues.
