VIDEOS of executions and beheadings were found in the flats lived in by two of the July 21 bomb plot suspects.

The jury in the on-going terror trial was shown parts of the footage today and heard descriptions of the more gruesome details.

In one video, a man was kneeling on the ground with three masked men behind him.

Images of warfare were shown on the screen before a man in a red hood put a knife to the victim's throat.

Describing what happened next, junior prosecutor Alison Morgan told Woolwich Crown Court: "He then goes on to cut the throat of the victim, dismembers his body and holds it up to the camera."

The video is one of several allegedly found at a flat in Curtis House, New Southgate, north London.

Jurors had already heard how police found bomb-making equipment at the property, said to have been occupied by Yassin Omar.

The jury also saw video footage discovered at Blair House, near Stockwell, south London, where Hussain Osman is said to have lived.

The moments leading up to seven beheadings were shown. These included the deaths of an Egyptian spy, a Korean man, a US electrical engineer and a CIA agent.

Omar, 26, Osman, 28, formerly of no fixed address, Muktar Said Ibrahim, 29, of Stoke Newington, north London, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 33, of no fixed address, Ramzi Mohammed, 25, of North Kensington, west London, and Adel Yahya, 24, of High Road, Tottenham, north London, all deny plotting to carry out a series of explosions on the London transport network.

The trial continues.
