A TERRORIST plot to launch a bomb blitz in London was foiled by Italian cops yesterday.

Five Moroccan men with links to al-Qa’ida suspects in Britain were seized during a raid near Venice.

Police found explosives and maps of central London at the hideout. They also found documents addressed to men in the UK.

The gang were seized by cops who raided a squalid, damp-ridden hovel in a yard filled with junk.
