MI5 missed an opportunity to identify the July 7, 2005, London bombing ringleader Mohammed Sidique Khan as a terrorist by failing to show a key informant a clear photograph of him, the inquest into the 7/7 attacks heard yesterday.

Five British al-Qaida terrorists jailed for life today were told they had "betrayed their country".

An American, who admits being part an alleged plot to blow up London pubs, rail stations and restaurants, faces 30 years to life in prison under an agreement with federal prosecutors in New York.
