The five men helped the plotters evade detection for a time

Five men who helped the bombers in the aftermath of the failed London
attacks on 21 July 2005 have been found guilty of terror charges. 

Kingston Crown Court heard they had provided the plotters with safe houses,
passports, clothing and food. 

All denied failing to report terrorism information and assisting an
offender. 

Muhedin Ali, 29, Wahbi Mohammed, 25, Ismail Abdurahman, 25, Siraj Ali, 32,
and Abdul Sherif, 30, all from London, are to be sentenced within hours. 

Siraj Ali and Mohammed were also convicted of having prior knowledge of the
plot to explode devices on the London transport network. 

'Integral part' 

The four men behind that plot - Muktar Ibrahim, Yassin Omar, Ramzi Mohammed
and Hussein Osman - were all jailed for life last year over the attempted
attacks. 

They had tried to detonate devices on Tube trains at Shepherd's Bush, Warren
Street and Oval stations and on a bus in Shoreditch, east London. 

The court heard how after their attempts failed, Sherif played an "integral
part" in arranging for his brother Osman to travel to Italy to stay with
other family members. 

Osman took the Eurostar from Waterloo using his brother's passport but was
eventually arrested in Rome. 

Wahbi Mohammed was the brother of another of the 21 July plotters, Ramzi
Mohammed. 

The court heard Wahbi Mohammed took a video camera used to record suicide
messages from his brother's address in Dalgarno Gardens, north Kensington,
and a suicide note intended for his family. 

The jurors - seven men and four women - returned their verdicts after more
than 10 days of deliberation. 

Between them, the five men were convicted of 22 charges of failing to
disclose information about terrorism and assisting an offender. 

Sherif was cleared of three further counts of failing to disclose
information about acts of terrorism, including having prior knowledge of the
attacks. 

Muhedin Ali was also cleared of two counts of having prior knowledge.

"Fair Use" criteria established in Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976.
The principle of "Fair Use" was established as law by Section 107 of The
Copyright Act of 1976.  "Fair Use" legally eliminates the need to obtain
permission or pay royalties for the use of previously copyrighted materials
if the purposes of display include "criticism, comment, news reporting,
teaching, scholarship, and research." Section 107 establishes four criteria
for determining whether the use of a work in any particular case qualifies
as a "fair use". A work used does not necessarily have to satisfy all four
criteria to qualify as an instance of "fair use". Rather, "fair use" is
determined by the overall extent to which the cited work does or does not
substantially satisfy the criteria in their totality. If you wish to use
copyrighted material for purposes of your own that go beyond 'fair use,' you
must obtain permission from the copyright owner.  For more information go
