THE wife of a man who tried to bomb a London Tube train has been convicted of failing to tell police about his plan.
The Old Bailey heard Yeshi Girma, 32, of Stockwell, south London, knew of her husband Hussain Osman's plot to set off a bomb at Shepherd's Bush in July 2005.
Osman and three other men were jailed for life for the failed attacks.
Girma's broth
er Esayas, her sister Mulumebet and her boyfriend Mohamed Kabashi were all convicted of aiding Osman after the attempted attack.
Kabashi's two Brighton flatmates, Shadi Abdelgadir, 25, and Omer Almagboul, 22, were cleared by the jury.
Yeshi, Mulu and Esayas Girma were all remanded in custody to be sentenced today.
Prosecutor Max Hill said Yeshi Girma had known before the attacks what her husband planned.
"She had some information about what the bombers intended to do on 21/7, but failed to bring this to the attention of the police," he told the jury.
Detectives say as well as assisting with the escape plan, Yeshi Girma removed and destroyed evidence from the couple's south London home.
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 an escape plan in motion.
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 had claimed she was not married to Osman.
