London: Three more persons have been charged under Britain's anti-terror laws for having failed to disclose information that could have helped in apprehending a suspect behind the botched bomb attacks on London's transport system.

The men had been arrested by police in Brighton, Sussex, last weekend by police probing July 21's failed bombings.

Shadi Sami Abdel Gadir, 22, Omar Nagmeloin Almagboul, 20, of Brighton and Mohamed Kabashi, 23, of no fixed abode, are due to be produced before Bow Street Magistrates' Court here.

The three men, who were arrested with four other people on July 31, have been charged under Section 38 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

They are accused of having information that they knew or believed might be of material assistance to police in securing the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of another person in the United Kingdom for an offence involving the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism.

"They are accused of failing to disclose that information as soon as reasonably practicable to a constable between July 21 and July 31."

Yesterday (August 5, 2005), two relatives of suspected Tube train bomber Osman Hussain were remanded in custody on the same charge.

Yeshiemebet Girma, 29, and Mulumebet Girma, 21, are alleged to have withheld details about the suspected failed Shepherd's Bush attacker Hussain Osman, who is currently under arrest in Rome.

Bow Street Magistrate's Court was told that Yeshiemebet was the wife of Osman, also known as Hamdi Issac.

Both women spoke only to confirm their names, ages and addresses at a short hearing and did not enter formal pleas.

Counsel acting on their behalf indicated however that both will plead not guilty to charges under Section 38 of the Terrorism Act, 2000.

Yeshiemebet of Blair House, Stockwell Gardens, Stockwell, southwest London and Mulumebet of Corse House, Dorset Road, Stockwell, were remanded in custody until a further hearing on August 11, 2005.
