Man Charged in Failed London Bombings

Another Methodist arrested in Britain in connection with the failed July 21 bombings. From AP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

LONDON - British police investigating the failed July 21 London bombings on Thursday charged a student with conspiracy to cause explosions, authorities said.

London's Metropolitan Police identified the man as 23-year-old Adel Yahya. He was arrested Tuesday at Gatwick Airport as he got off a flight from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

He was charged with conspiring with four other men — all of whom are awaiting trial over the plot to attack three subway trains and a double-decker bus — "to cause by an explosive substance, explosions of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property."...

A total of 16 people have now been charged in connection with the attempted attacks, which did not kill anyone as the bombs failed to detonate. But they shook Britain's capital two weeks after near identical suicide bombings killed 52 commuters on July 7.

Five men are accused of plotting to murder passengers on London's transit system on July 21 and face trial in September.

Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, Ramzi Mohamed, 23, Yassin Omar, 24, Hussein Osman, 27, are accused of trying to bomb three subway trains and a bus.

The fifth suspect, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 32, was arrested after a backpack of explosives was found in a raid. All face a charge of conspiracy to murder.

Ethiopian-born Osman has said through his lawyer that the bombing attempt was meant to scare people, not kill them.

Yahya is accused of conspiring with Osman, Ibrahim, Asiedu and Omar.

A further 10 people have been charged in connection with the attempted attacks — for failing to disclose information about the suspects and helping them evade arrest.

Sorry I can't see the link here. I hope you are not suggesting that The Religion of Peace is involved?
/puts fingers in ears and sings na na na.... I can't hear you!/

My big question is:

Was this guy a Muslim? Until we find out, we shouldn't be jumping to anti-Muslim conclusions...

jsla:
Yahya is in all probability a muslime name. Yahya Khan for instance was that noble military dictator of Pakistan under whom that country lost a war with India.

Ethiopian-born Osman has said through his lawyer that the bombing attempt was meant to scare people, not kill them.

I only asked you to blow the b****ing doors off! If anyone remembers Michael Caine in the original Italian Job. This should translate as a guilty plea on arraignment, but I bet it doesn't.

Was this guy a Muslim?
Hussain Osman, Ibrahim Muktar Said, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, Adel Yahya, Ramzi Mohamed and Yassin Hassan Omar do have a certain, hint, of je ne sais que.

Sorry, I omitted the link to the BBC version of this story where they listed the names of everybody arrested in connection with the events of 21 July.

Thanks violetti ! -- good enough for me... Appears to be another inexplicable clue to the non-existent connection between terrorism and Islam (which doesn't exist...)

Dear Granny -- there is a certain something in those names I'll grant... I couldn't quite put my finger on it at first... it somehow reminded me of other various things i have heard and seen... A certain pattern, a certain technique, a certain something...

Now reading the BBC account for clarification, you wouldn't get a clue... but there is a certain dusky umbra, a hint, an insinuation...

Failed suicide bombers. How crap is that?

Could these guys be mulsums or is this just a sleepy village??

GOD BLESS THE USA AND HER FIGHTING FORCES AND ALL WHO FIGHT WITH HER GIVE THEM STRENGTH, WISDOM, SIGHT, AND COURAGE TO STAY THE COURSE TO DESTROY ALL ISLAMIC TERRORIST AND ALL WHO SUPPORT THEM AMEN

Doesn't matter if the name is Shane Kent or Sister Yvonne -its their intentions we have to worry about. What's the betting that next bombing
attempt will be carried out by 'white converts'??
Highly probable I think when Ethiopians & Arabs stand out like sore thumbs.
We must never underestimate the ruthlessness of Al Quaeda :Bin Laden had one of his friends executed and we know he hates Infidels holding their lives to be of no account. In fact using Bosinians or European converts to kill their own kind would make his day : there'd be a Jihadi conference screening of the videos and screeching of Allahu Akbar...

get yer yahya''s out! now!

Imagine how pathetic they must have felt when they rammed into a London tube train, the detonator goes poof, but no big bang. Wish I'd have been there, I really do.
