Suspect jailed six years after admitting he helped 21/7 bombers make bombs

One of the men accused of planning the July 21 2005 terror attacks has admitted possessing terrorist information.

Adel Yahya, 24, of Tottenham, north London, admitted possessing information likely to be useful to terrorists at the High Court, Scotland Yard said.

He will no longer face a retrial on a conspiracy to murder charge at Kingston Crown Court next week, a spokesman said.

Four other men were jailed for life at Woolwich Crown Court, London, in July 2007 over the failed attacks.

A sixth man charged in connection with the failed attacks, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 34, of no fixed address, is due to go on trial next Monday.

He will face a single charge of conspiracy to murder at Kingston Crown Court.
