Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza kept a terrorism "manual" which contained a dedication to Osama bin Laden and suggested a list of potential targets which included skyscrapers and Big Ben, the Old Bailey heard today.
The Encyclopaedia of Afghani Jihad, which was found at Hamza's home, also advised hitting targets such as the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower to cause "destruction" and suggested attacks on museums or archaeological sites.
It said plans "should be laid out" to hit buildings such skyscrapers, ports, airports, nuclear plants and football stadiums and it talked about attacking large congregations of people at Christmas.
The 10 volume encyclopaedia also contained a dedication to "Abu Abdullah Osama bin Laden" for "carrying out jihad in Afghanistan and who is still, to this date, inciting jihad", the court was told.
"This, the prosecution say, is a blueprint, a manual for terrorism which echoes the things which feature in the defendant's speeches," said David Perry prosecuting.
Mr Perry had earlier told the court how Hamza preached "murder and hatred" to his followers, telling them it was their "religious duty to kill" non-Muslims.
The preacher, who delivered sermons at Finsbury Park Mosque in north London, singled out Jews, proclaiming that "Hitler was sent into the world" because of their "treachery, blasphemy and filth", it was alleged.
Hamza (47) from west London, faces nine charges under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 alleging he solicited others at public meetings to murder Jews and other non-Muslims.
He also faces four charges under the Public Order Act 1986 of "using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with the intention of stirring up racial hatred".
A further charge alleges Hamza was in possession of video and audio recordings, which he intended to distribute to stir up racial hatred.
The final charge under section 58 of the Terrorism Act accuses him of possession of a document, the Encyclopaedia of the Afghani Jihad, which contained information "of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".
Hamza denies all the charges.
The various titles of the encyclopaedia's 10 volumes, which were written in Arabic sometime between 1989 and 1999, included "handguns", "explosives", "weapons", "dogfight and combat" and "tanks", the court heard.
It contained information about letter bombs, how to manufacture weapons, how to open locks, engage in secret communication and booby traps.
It listed possible weapons for assassination, referred to "suicide units" and how they should be organised, and contained detailed instructions on how to make home-made bombs and explosives.
"The defence may suggest that this is all historical, it is to do with Russian soldiers being fought by Mujahideen in Afghanistan," Mr Perry said.
However, he described how the encyclopaedia talked about an "external pressures unit" which would operate abroad.
It suggested that one of the Mujahideen should be sent to the country around 10 years before the jihad was to start, so the security services thought they were based there.
