Failed suicide bomber's wife jailed

Muslim convert Yeshi Girma, 32, knew of his plot to kill innocent Tube passengers on July 21 2005 and could have stopped it going ahead.

It was only the botched bomb-making of Osman and his fellow terrorists that saved a repeat of the carnage wreaked on July 7, two weeks before.

Just over half an hour after his failed attack on Shepherd's Bush Tube station, Osman was on the phone to his wife to set in motion an escape plan.

Yeshi, the mother of Osman's three sons, helped him flee to Brighton before he took a Eurostar to Paris and ended up in Rome, where he was arrested.

On Wednesday, she was found guilty of having information about terrorism and failing to disclose it "without reasonable excuse".

Judge Paul Worsley told her: "You already shared Osman's extreme views on Islam and co-ordinated the escape plan for the father of your three children after he failed to achieve his sought-after place in paradise."

Her brother Esayas Girma, 22, and sister Mulu Girma, 24, whom she enlisted to help her escape plan, were jailed for 10 years.

Yeshi and Esayas, both from Stockwell, south London, and Mulu, from Brighton, were all found guilty of assisting an offender and failing to disclose information about Osman's involvement in the July 21 attacks.

Mulu's boyfriend Mohamed Kabashi, 25, from Brighton, admitted assisting Osman and failing to disclose information before the trial began. He was jailed for nine years.
