Botched bomb bid: CCTV film
Updated on 15 October 2008
Nicky Reilly didn't just want to become a martyr, he also planned to blow up as many people as possible in a family restaurant.
That's what the Muslim convert told the police after injuring himself in a botched suicide bombing in a Giraffe restaurant in Exeter.
Reilly, who has autism and a low IQ, suffered burns to his face and arms when his homemade bomb exploded in his hands in a toilet cubicle.
Detectives are still hunting two men who encouraged him online.
Today he pleaded guilty to attempted murder and other offences at the Old Bailey.
