Omar fled the capital the day after he made a failed attempt to detonate a rucksack bomb on a Tube train near London's Warren Street station, Woolwich Crown Court was told.

The head-to-toe outfit gave others at Digbeth coach station no clue that the man inside was wanted by anti-terror police.

The court has already heard how Omar was captured on CCTV wearing the burka at Golders Green coach station in north London earlier in the day.

He was eventually arrested at a house in Birmingham on Wednesday, July 27.
