This is not going to improve the stature of British police four years after the deadly bombing. Despite believing up to 20 people were involved only 3 went to trial and yesterday they were cleared. The Guardian:
Senior security officials conceded last night that it is likely no one will be brought to justice for the 7 July bombs that killed 52 people in London in 2005, despite their belief that more than 20 people were involved in the attacks.
The admission came shortly after the only three men to be charged in connection with the suicide bombings were acquitted yesterday.
After a £100m criminal investigation, the biggest police inquiry in modern times, the trio were cleared by a jury at Kingston crown court of helping to plan the attacks by carrying out a reconnaissance mission with two of the bombers.
The men, Waheed Ali, 25, Mohammed Shakil, 32, and Sadeer Saleem, 28, had already been tried once last year, when a jury failed to reach a verdict.
