THE TELEGRAPH: Three men - Mohammed Shakil, Sadeer Saleem and Waheed Ali - have been cleared of helping the July 7 bombers plan their attacks.
The three men, all from Beeston in Leeds, who have been acquitted by a jury, were the only people ever to be charged in relation to the bombings of July 2005.
They had been accused of conducting a "hostile reconnaissance" mission for the bombers seven months before the attacks.
They were joined by two of the bombers as they travelled to King's Cross, along with the London Eye and Natural History Museum, eight days before Christmas in December 2004.
Objects belonging to each of the men were also found in the flat used as a bomb factory in the area of Hyde Park, Leeds.
All three had also been on training camps in Pakistan with Mohammed Sidique Khan, the leader of the bombers, the last just months before the attacks.
Two of the men, Waheed Ali and Mohammed Shakil, were convicted of conspiracy to attend a place used for terrorist training after they were arrested on their way to Manchester airport in 2007.
But Ali, Shakil and Sadeer Saleem were all cleared of conspiracy to cause explosions. >>> By Duncan Gardham, Security Correspondent | Tuesday, April 28, 2009
