Five Convicted For Helping 21/7 London Bombers
Five men who assisted bombers in the aftermath of the failed London bombings on 21 July 2005 have been found guilty of terror charges.
The group helped the gang avoid immediate detection by providing safe houses and passports as well as clothing and food.
Max Hill, prosecuting, said they all "lent active assistance" to the would-be bombers and failed to report what they knew to police as required by law.
Siraj Ali, 33, Muhedin Ali, 29, Ismail Abdurahman, 25, Wahbi Mohammed, 25, and Abdul Sherif, 30, were convicted of a total of 22 charges for failing to disclose information about terrorism and assisting an offender following a four-month trial at Kingston crown court.
Siraj Ali and Mohammed were also convicted of having prior knowledge of the plot to explode devices on the London transport network.
All five defendants were originally from Africa but had been living in London for some years.
The four men behind the London bomb plot - Muktar Ibrahim, Yassin Omar, Ramzi Mohammed and Hussein Osman - were all jailed for life last year over the attempted attacks.
They had tried to detonate devices on Tube trains at Shepherd's Bush, Warren Street and Oval stations and on a bus in Shoreditch, east London.
