LONDON, June 11 (UPI) -- A jury in Britain has convicted the wife of an alleged would-be suicide bomber Hussain Osman for not informing police about his plan to kill subway passengers.

Yeshi Girma, 32, was accused of knowing that her husband intended to bomb the Shepherd's Bush Tube station on July 21, 2005, and planned an escape to Paris when the device failed to detonate, The Times of London reported Wednesday.

Prosecutors charged that Girma was aware her husband had fallen under the spell of radical Islamists and permitted him to take their young son to a training camp in Cumbria.

The camp was where Osman met four of the five other men who allegedly plotted the failed subway bombing.
