LONDON: Three men were found not guilty on Tuesday of helping to plan the July 7, 2005 suicide bombings in London that killed 56 people, although two were convicted on lesser charges.
Relatives of the victims, meanwhile, renewed their calls for an independent inquiry into the attacks, saying no one had yet been brought to justice.

Waheed Ali, Muhammad Shakil, and Sadeer Saleem – the only individuals charged in connection with the attacks – had been accused of carrying out a two-day reconnaissance mission seven months before the bombings on three underground trains and a double-decker bus.

Detectives had always been convinced that the four bombers did not plot the bombing on their own and said despite the verdicts, the investigation would continue, by following “every clue, every lead”. Some of 37,000 exhibits they seized are being forensically examined. afp/reuters
