LONDON, July 9 (Reuters) - Four men were convicted on
Monday of plotting to bomb London's transport system on
July 21, 2005 in a botched attempt to replicate Islamist
suicide bombings that had killed 52 people two weeks
earlier.

Police said the men, Muslims of African origin, would have
caused carnage on a similar scale to the attacks a
fortnight before but although the detonators on their
makeshift bombs fired, the main charges failed to explode.

The men, Muktah Said Ibrahim, Yassin Hassan Omar, Ramzi
Mohammed and Hussain Osman, were found guilty of
conspiracy to murder at Woolwich Crown Court in London
after a trial lasting almost six months.

The jury, which is still considering verdicts against two
other men facing the same charge, was sent home for the
day.

The moment Ibrahim and Mohammed tried to detonate their bombs was caught on closed circuit television footage. Mohammed could be seen turning his rucksack, containing the bomb, to face a young mother with a small child just as he detonated it.

I don't know what was going through his mind at that point and i don't really want to know truth be told.

People are not born to be evil, something or someone put something in his mind that made him think he was doing something right.

LONDON (AP) - A jury that convicted four men of plotting to
bomb London's public transport system on July 21, 2005, was
dismissed Tuesday after failing to reach a verdict against two
other defendants.

Judge Adrian Fulford told the jury of nine women and three
men on Monday that he would accept 10-2 majority verdicts
on Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 34, and Adel Yahya, 24. He dismissed
the jury after less than two hours of deliberations on Tuesday.

Fulford gave prosecutors until Wednesday morning to say
whether they would seek a retrial of Asiedu and Yahya.
