A group with al-Qaeda links discussed bombing nightclubs and attacking gas supply networks, a court has heard.
The group of seven men considered an attack on Kent's Bluewater shopping centre, and had a list of synagogues, the Old Bailey was told.
One suspect was allegedly involved in a plot to buy a "radio-isotope bomb".
Four men, of Crawley, West Sussex, one of Horley, Surrey, one of Ilford, east London, and one of Luton, Bedfordshire, deny conspiring to cause explosions.
Four of the men also deny having chemicals suitable for bomb-making. The trial is expected to last five months.
