Four 21/7 bomb plotters 'guilty'
Four men have been found guilty of plotting the 21/7 suicide bombing attacks in London.
At Woolwich Crown Court, Muktar Said Ibrahim, 29, Hussain Osman, 28, Yassin Omar, 26, and Ramzi Mohammed, 25, were all found guilty of conspiracy to murder.
The cell had tried to set off bombs on the London Tube system and a bus two weeks after the 7/7 bombings.
The men had claimed that the shrapnel devices were fakes intended to mark a protest against the Iraq war. However, the court heard that dozens of people could have been killed if the bombs, which were similar to those used in the 7/7 attacks, had detonated fully.
Evidence was also presented that showed the attack was not simply a copycat operation, but had been planned in advance of the 7/7 bombings.
