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

She faces a prison term after being found guilty of having information about terrorism and "without reasonable excuse" failing to disclose it.

Her brother Esayas Girma, 22, and sister Mulu Girma, 24, who she enlisted to help her escape plan, are also due to be sentenced at the Old Bailey.

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, will also be sentenced after pleading guilty before the three-and-a-half month trial began to assisting Osman and failing to disclose information.

Osman was jailed for life with a minimum of 40 years at Woolwich Crown Court last year for conspiracy to murder, alongside fellow bombers Yassin Omar, Ramzi Mohamed and Muktar Ibrahim. Fellow plotters Manfo Asiedu and Adel Yahya admitted separate offences.
