The wife of a man who attempted to bomb a London Tube station has been found guilty of failing to tell police about his plan.

The Old Bailey was told Yeshi Girma knew of her husband Hussain Osman's plot to bomb Shepherd's Bush station in July 2005.

The court heard that Girma "had prior knowledge of the events of 21/7".

The court was told that 30 minutes after Osman's device had failed to explode on 21 July 2005, he had called Girma to begin planning his escape from the UK.

The jury heard that Girma, 32, had helped him get as far as Brighton. Later, Osman took a Eurostar train from London to Paris, before travelling on to Rome.

He was arrested by Italian police and returned to face trial alongside five other men who attempted to carry out bomb attacks on the London transport system.

Prosecutor Max Hill said Girma knew before the attacks what her husband planned.

"She had some information about what the bombers intended to do on 21/7, but failed to bring this to the attention of the police," he told the jury.
