Suspect failed suicide bombers to appear in court

Three alleged would-be suicide bombers will appear in court today charged with plotting to murder passengers on the London transport system.

Ibrahim Muktar Said, (aged 27), of Stoke Newington, London, Ramzi Mohamed, (aged 23), of North Kensington, London, and Yassin Omr, (aged 24), of New Southgate, London, will appear before Bow Street Magistrates’ Court, sitting at Belmarsh, in south-east London.

The trio are accused of conspiracy to murder; attempted murder; conspiring to endanger life by using explosives; and of making or possessing an explosive with the intent to endanger life or cause serious injury on July 21.

A fourth suspect, Hussain Osman, the alleged would-be Shepherd’s Bush bomber, was arrested by Italian police and is being held in Rome.

Said, who was charged last night in connection with the failed Hackney bus bombing, and Mohamed, who was charged in connection with the failed Oval Tube bombing, were both arrested in west London on July 29.

Omar was charged on Saturday in connection with the failed bid to bomb a Tube train at Warren Street. He was arrested in Birmingham on July 27.

Also in court is Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 32, of Finsbury Park, north London, who was charged last night with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life on July 21.

The charges are understood to relate to the discovery of a discarded rucksack that was found at Little Wormwood Scrubs, north west London, on July 23.

Three others, Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali, 30, Wharbi Mohammed, 22, and Asias Girma, 20, will also appear in court charged with assisting people in evading arrest.

On Saturday, three men were remanded in custody charged under anti-terror laws in connection with the July 21 attacks.

Shadi Abdel Gadir, 22, and Omar Nagmeloin Almagboul, 20, both of Dyke Road, Brighton, and Mohamed Kabashi, 23, of Mary Magdalene Road, Brighton, were accused of failing to disclose information about the failed bombings.

They appeared at Horseferry Road Magistrates’ Court, central London.

A total of six people have now been charged under the Terrorism Act with failing to disclose information that could have helped police investigating the July 21 attacks.

The others are Yeshshiembet Girma, 28, who is the wife of Hussain Osman, her sister Muluemebet Girma, 21, and Ismael Abdurahman, 23.

The failed 21 July attacks took place two weeks to the day after four suicide bombers killed themselves and 52 passengers on the London transport network.
