Sisters charged in London bomb probe
 British police have charged two sisters under anti-terrorism laws for failing to give police information regarding the botched 21 July attempts to bomb London. Police said Yeshshiembet Girma, 28, and Muluemebet Girma, 21, of London, would appear at the capital's Bow Street Magistrates' Court on Friday charged under the Terrorism Act 2000. They were arrested on 27 July in a raid on a public housing estate in the Stockwell area of south London. Police accused them of failing to give information to detectives which could help convict someone "for an offence involving the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism". The failed bombings on 21 July came two weeks after four bombers killed 52 people and themselves in three underground trains and a bus. Police have linked the bombers to al-Qaida.Posted by: Fred 2005-08-05 |
