A Londoner of Muslim extraction Waheed Ali 24 of Tower Hamlets, Sadeer Saleem 27 and Mohammed Shakil from Leeds, face charges in Kingston Crown of conspiring with Mohammed Siddique Khan, Shezhad Tanweer, Jermaine Lindsay and Hasib Hussain and others unknown to cause explosions between November 17 2004 and July 8 2005 in the capital, (four suicide bombers).
The Times has reported the story by saying that "The four suicide bombers murdered 52 people when they set off bombs on the capital’s transport network in 2005."
The report continued by saying, "Neil Flewitt, QC, told a jury at Kingston Crown Court today that the three defendants did not make or transport the bombs but they did help the bombed “in one particular and important aspect of their preparation for the London bombings.” Related Links
The trio travelled from Leeds to London with Hasib Hussain, who went on to detonate his bomb on the No 30 bus in Tavistock Square, in December 2004. There they met Jermaine Lindsay, who killed 26 people on a Piccadilly Line underground train.
In the capital they visited a series of locations which, said Mr Flewitt, bore a “striking similarity” to the locations where the bombs were detonated on July 7 the following year.
Mr Flewitt said: “It is the prosecution case that the locations visited by the defendants on the 16th to 17th December 2004 bore a striking similarity not only to the locations visited on June 28 2005 by three of the London bombers, Mohammed Siddique Khan, Shezhad Tanweer and Jermaine Lindsay, when they carried out another "hostile reconnaissance of possible targets but also to the locations at which the bombs were actually detonated less than two weeks later on July 7 2005."
