Jury watches footage from London 7/7 bombings
2007-02-21
A jury at the trial of six men accused of attempting to detonate bombs on London's transit system were shown a video Tuesday of one of the suspects fleeing the capital dressed in a burqa.
Yassin Omar was captured on closed circuit television disguised in the traditional Muslim woman's dress.
Yassin Omar was captured on closed circuit television at London's Golders Green bus station and later at Digbeth coach station in Birmingham, 160 kilometers miles north of London, disguised in the traditional Muslim woman's dress.

The six men were arrested after alleged attacks on July 21, two weeks after four suicide bombers killed 52 people on the transit system. Omar and the other five defendants - Muktar Said Ibrahim, 29; Adel Yahya, 24; Manfu Asiedu, 33; Hussain Osman, 28; and Ramzi Mohamed, 25 - have all denied charges of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life.

#4  Yes, the Lakes are still one of the most unspoilt areas of the country - enjoy while you can.

#3  Yes, rural Britain still exists out there... and is rapidly becoming the last retreat of the sane.

Things are not well in the British countryside - the government's antipathy to rural communities is remarkable compared to its cosseting of urban ethnic and religious minorities. This has bred resentment - the foot and mouth fiasco, foxhunting ban, closure of rural hospitals, mothballing of rural transport etc - and such resentment will lead to more direct protests than the 2002 Countryside March. Fortunately most of this green and pleasant land is not yet interspersed with minarets...

#2  Howard:

How is it now days near Windemere and the Lakes? Is it still rural Britain?

#1  Right, terrorists have used the burka to escape the Police after an attempted suicide bombing. Can we now get on and ban the burka in all public places - striiking a blow for counter terrorism and women's rights at the same time? No, because we may offend a handful of religious extremists in the muslim community and some poncey Guardian reading Sociology lecturers? We really are screwed in the UK.
