Three acquitted of aiding 7/7 attacks

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 at Kingston Crown Court found Waheed Ali, 25, Sadeer Saleem, 28, and Mohammed Shakil, 32, not guilty of conspiring to cause explosions.

They were accused of working with four suicide bombers who attacked three trains on the London underground and a bus on July 7, 2005, killing 52 passengers and themselves.
