Four jailed for life over 21/7 bomb plot
Four men convicted of plotting the July 21 bomb attacks in London have been jailed for life and told that they will have to serve a minimum of 40 years in prison.
Muktar Said Ibrahim, 29, Yassin Omar, 26, Ramzi Mohammed, 25, and Hussain Osman, 28 were found guilty of conspiracy to murder on Monday, following a six-month trial.
Judge Mr Justice Fulford QC said that the plot, to detonate devices on three Tube trains and a bus in the capital on July 21, 2005, was "a viable, indeed a very nearly successful, attempt at mass murder".
The failed attacks came two weeks after the July 7 bombings in the capital in which 52 people were killed.
Referring to the earlier attacks, Judge Fulford said: "I have no doubt that they were both part of an Al Qaeda-inspired and controlled sequence of attacks."
Two other men - Manfo Kwaku Asiedu and Adel Yahya - are to face a retrial following the discharge of the jury when they failed to reach verdicts on their cases.
Both men had denied the charge of conspiracy to murder.
