5 Guilty Of Aiding Would-Be London Bombers

(AP)  A London court Monday convicted five men of helping the failed bombers of London's transit system in 2005 evade arrest, and sentenced them to prison terms ranging from seven to 10 years.

A jury at London's Kingston Crown Court convicted Siraj Ali, 33; Muhedin Ali, 29; Ismail Abdurahman, 25; Wahbi Mohammed, 25; and Abdul Sherif, 30, of a total of 22 charges of failing to disclose information about terrorism and assisting an offender.

Judge Paul Worsley sentenced Mohammed to 17 years, Siraj Ali to 12 years, and Sherif 10 years. Abdurahman received a 10-year sentence, and Muhedin Ali got seven years.

Five other men are serving long prison sentences for plotting to blow themselves up on subway trains and a bus on July 21, 2005 - two weeks after suicide bombers killed themselves and 52 commuters in the city. The main charges of the bombs, made from hydrogen peroxide and flour, did not detonate and no one was hurt.

Sherif is the brother of convicted bomber Hussain Osman, and Mohammed is the brother of Ramzi Mohammed, another of the bombers. The other defendants were described as friends of the bomb plotters.

The five men convicted Monday provided safe houses, passports, clothing and food for the bombers after the failed attacks. Most of the failed bombers were arrested within days.

Siraj Ali and Mohammed were also convicted of having prior knowledge of the attacks.

Like the bombers, all were originally from Africa but had lived in London for years.

These terrorists should be kicked out of the country because they are a real threat to the public.

Re: "The uneducated imbeciles didn''t realise that dilute hydrogen peroxide decomposes on heating into oxygen and water."

Just as I thought. NO THREAT AT ALL.

What a joke. A bad one.

You sound like you have a lot of misplaced hatred and anger. These alleged Betty Crocker inspired bombs did not detonate, so this was a non-attack.

This is what ********* calls a "non-attack"! The Muslim terrorists put together the bombs in every hope and expectation they would explode (and some of them did), put the bombs they hoped would explode in crowded public places to murder innocent bystanders, but only through their technical incompetence (praise be to Allah!) the bombs did not explode.

Another case in point that FF1 is nothing more than an apologist or propagandist for vicious killers--a shill for jihadis.

notblue,

Note the article mentions "Would-Be London Bombers".

Please find someone to explain to you what "Would-Be" means in the context of this non-attack.

FeelFree1, A NON ATTACK???????? What a moron you are! DO you understand the difference between a radical bombing civilians in subways and busses and someone throwing out a "verbal barage"?????
