7/7 Jury Fails To Reach Verdict
2008-08-01
Waheed Ali, Sadeer Saleem and Mohammed Shakil visited the London Eye, the Natural History Museum and the London Aquarium while allegedly pinpointing potential targets during the trip seven months before the 2005 atrocity. The trio, from Beeston, Leeds, stood trial charged with conspiring with the four bombers and others unknown to cause explosions between November 17, 2004 and July 8, 2005. But following the three month trial at Kingston Crown Court, a jury of eight women and four men could not decide on their verdicts and have been discharged.

The jury had been told that Ali, 25, Saleem, 28, and Shakil, 32, visited places on December 16 and 17, 2004, which bore a "striking similarity" to spots where the bombs were detonated. Detailed 'cell site analysis' of mobile phone use, including calls to the London Tourist Board and various attractions, allowed the group's movements across London to be mapped.

The three defendants admitted making the visit but claimed it was an entirely innocent "social outing" and the purpose was for Ali to visit his sister. They told the jury they used the opportunity to see some of the capital's landmarks at the same time. All three defendants made no secret in court of their support for jihad and defending Muslim lands. But they claimed they did not advocate suicide bombings and had no idea about the July 7 plot.

#4  The Euros openly cultivate disloyalty. Aliens from the worst oppressor states in the world are told to reflect pride in their homeland' history, while attributing any irregularity to the nominal effects of imperialism and colonialism.

Lenin once said: "The purpose of Parliamentarianism is to destroy Parliamentarianism." I say, "The purpose of Europe is the destruction of Europe."

#2  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I read this article to be saying the jury came back hung and not that these hard boyz were acquited or otherwise found not guilty.

"All three defendants made no secret in court of their support for jihad and defending Muslim lands."

These boyz supported the bombings. They should have their citizenship taken away and exiled (assuming they are citizens). There is no upside to allowing muslim immigration to any non-muslim contry.
