THREE men accused of helping to plan the 2005 London bombings have been acquitted of playing any role in the plot, a blow to investigators’ hopes of convicting anyone over the worst attack on Britain since World War II.

A JURY failed yesterday to reach a verdict in the trial of three men accused of assisting the suicide bombers who killed 52 people on the London transport network on July 7, 2005.

THE first three men to be charged in connection with the July 7, 2005, London suicide bombings went on trial yesterday, accused of scouting for potential targets in the capital.

Home video of the ringleader of the July 7 bombings introducing his baby daughter to a man accused of helping him plot his attacks was shown for the first time today.

The first three people to be charged over the 7/7 London terror attacks appeared in court today.
