Three men accused of taking part in an extremist Muslim plot to carry out a series of suicide bombings on London's transport system in July 2005 have been convicted of conspiracy to murder. Muktar Said Ibrahim, 29; Yassin Omar, 26; and Ramzi Mohammed, 25, were found guilty Monday of plotting to bomb London's public transport system on July 21, 2005. The jury was still deliberating Monday on three co-defendents.The attacks would have happened just 14 days after the July 7 London bombings, which killed 52 commuters and four bombers.
Ibrahim, Mohamed, Omer and Manfu Asiedu, 33, Adel Yahya, 24, and Hussain Osman, 28 -- all from London -- denied charges of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions.
Four of the men claimed the devices, made from liquid hydrogen peroxide, chapati flour, acetone and acid, were a hoax. Another claimed they were real bombs but that he was duped while the sixth man denies having anything to do with the alleged conspiracy.
