Three charged in connection with 7 July terrorist attacks.
Following a police operation by the Metropolitan Police and West Yorkshire Police, Mohammed Shakil, age 30 from Beeston, West Yorkshire, Sadeer Saleem, aged 26 from Beeston, West Yorkshire and Waheed Ali, age 23, from Tower Hamlets, East London, (but previously from Beeston, West Yorkshire and recently known as Shipon Ullah), were today charged. The charges were that between 1 November 2004 and 29 June 2005 unlawfully and maliciously conspired with Mohammed Siddique Kham, Shezhad Tanweer, Jermaine Lindsay, Hasib Hussein and others to cause by explosive substance on the Transport for London system and/or tourist attractions in London. During a press conference that took place at New Scotland Yard this afternoon, head of the Mets Counter Terrorism Command, DAC Peter Clarke said: "I have a simple appeal to make today. It is for those people who have information and who have not yet spoken to us, mainly in the West Yorkshire area, to come forward.""I do understand that some of you will have real concerns about the consequences of telling us what you know. I also know that some of you have been actively dissuaded from speaking to us. Surely this must stop. The victims of the attacks, and those who will become victims of terrorism in the future deserve your co-operation and support. We still need information about the four men who set the bombs off. Mohammed Siddique Khan, Shezad Tanweer, Hasib Hussain and Jermaine Lindsay. There are still some gaps in our knowledge of what they were doing in the weeks and months leading up to the attacks. The same goes for the three men who have been charged today." "We need to know more about their movements, meetings and travel. Who did they meet? Where did they go? But as well as this, who else knew about what was happening? We will find out, it is only a matter of time. It is highly likely that in due course there will be further arrests. If you have any information, now is the time to give it. You can either speak directly to your local police, or you can ring the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline. The number is 0800 789 321."
