Plotters Lose Appeal

Four men serving at least 40 years for the failed 21 July suicide bombs have lost a Court of Appeal bid to challenge their convictions.

Three judges rejected applications brought by Muktar Said Ibrahim, Yassin Omar, Ramzi Mohammed and Hussain Osman for leave to appeal.

Last July, the men were jailed for life for conspiracy to murder.

Men such as these should never see the light of day again. It is good that they lost their appeal. Why should they ever be expected to do anything good and proper again?

Terror Recruiter Convicted

A man said to be one of the most important recruiters for Islamist extremism in the UK has been convicted at the end of a major trial.

Mohammed Hamid, 50, of east London was found guilty of training men in secret camps in the Lake District and New Forest to prepare them to fight abroad.

Among those to have passed through Hamid's camps were the four failed suicide bombers of 21 July 2005.

Convicted

This is a great step in the fight against terror in the UK. The world is now a safer place since he has been captured and now he will not be able to hurt any more people.

9/11 case pilot can claim damages

A pilot wrongly accused of training the 9/11 hijackers is entitled to claim damages, the Court of Appeal has ruled.

Judges said evidence suggested police and prosecutors were responsible for "serious defaults" in detaining Lotfi Raissi in jail for nearly five months.

The ruling means the government has to reconsider the 33-year-old's claim for compensation, which it had refused.

Mr Raissi wants an apology and says his claim may run into millions of pounds. The government has said it may appeal

I would be ticked off to if someone said I knowingly trained terrorists and i hadn't. We will see what this mans fate will be. I don't think he will get anything, the country was just looking for someone in a time of panic.
