UK: Three guilty of July 21 bomb plot

Three men were found guilty today of an extremist Muslim plot to launch a series of suicide bomb attacks on the London transport system exactly two weeks after 7/7.

Muktar Said Ibrahim, Yassin Omar and Ramzi Mohammed were convicted of conspiracy to murder at London’s Woolwich Crown Court.

The jury of nine women and three men have yet to reach verdicts on three other defendants in the trial.

The terror cell attempted to detonate hydrogen peroxide and chapatti flour bombs covered in shrapnel on three tube trains and a bus on July 21, 2005.

Their plan only failed at the last moment because of problems with the home-made explosives, hot weather, or mere “good fortune”, Woolwich Crown Court heard.
