5 convicted of helping failed London bombers
|
Five men were convicted on Monday of helping mount failed suicide bombings on London in 2005 two weeks after successful attacks that killed more than 50 people. A jury at Kingston Crown Court found the five including the brothers of two of the failed July 21, 2005 bombers guilty of providing safe houses, passports as well as clothing and food as they hid from police. Siraj Ali (33), Muhedin Ali (29), Ismail Abdurahman (25), Wahbi Muhammed (25) and Abdul Sherif (30), all from London, were convicted on 22 charges of failing to disclose information about terrorism and assisting an offender.
In a verdict handed down after a four-month trial, Ali and Mohammed were also found guilty of knowing in advance about the plot to cause explosions on Londons public transport system. All five defendants were originally from Africa, but had lived in London for some years, the trial in southwest London heard. Prosecutor Max Hill said that all five except Abdurahman knew about the planned attacks but failed to alert authorities. Sherifs behaviour demonstrated sympathy towards and knowledge of the planned attacks, he said. Sherif was said to be euphoric and in a buoyant mood after the July 7 bombings and shortly afterwards showed a pub landlord a text message saying there will be more bloodshed in London.
