Failed 2005 London Bombers Convicted

The number of Islamic terror plots discovered in Britain is amazing; there seems to be another every month. And after each one the left wing questions the timing, blames the victims, makes excuses, and denies reality. The more terror plots discovered, the more they scoff.

Today the jihadis who tried to follow up on the 7/7 London bombings with another mass murder attack were convicted: Three men guilty of botched 2005 London bomb plot.

LONDON (Reuters) - Three men were convicted on Monday of plotting to bomb London’s transport system on July 21, 2005 in a botched attempt to replicate Islamist suicide bombings that had killed 52 people two weeks earlier.

Police said the men, Muslims of African origin, would have caused carnage on a similar scale to the attacks a fortnight before but although the detonators on their makeshift bombs fired, the main charges failed to explode.

The attacks provoked more panic and fear across Britain, reeling from the most devastating peacetime attack on London carried out on July 7 by four young Britons, the first Islamist suicide bombings in western Europe.

The men, Muktah Said Ibrahim, Yassin Hassan Omar and Ramzi Mohammed, were found guilty of conspiracy to murder at Woolwich Crown Court in London after a trial lasting almost six months.

The moment Ibrahim and Mohammed tried to detonate their bombs was caught on closed circuit television footage. Mohammed could be seen turning his rucksack, containing the bomb, to face a young mother with a small child just as he detonated it.
