LONDON, July 9 (UPI) -- Four Muslim extremists were found guilty Monday of planning suicide bomb attacks against London buses and subways in 2005.
Hussain Osman, 28, Muktar Said Ibrahim, 29, Yassin Omar, 26, and Ramzi Mohammed, 25, were convicted of conspiracy to murder by London's Woolwich Crown Court, Sky News reported Monday. The jury had yet to reach verdicts on two other defendants on trial, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu and Adel Yahya, also in their 20s.
The attacks, which authorities said failed only because of because of problems with the home-made explosives, hot weather or mere "good fortune, were to happen two weeks after the July 7, 2005, attacks that killed 52 people in London's transport system, Sky News said.
The six defendants came to Britain from Africa and lived on government benefits given to refugees while they spent more than a year planning their attacks, the Daily Mail reported.
