3 men acquitted of helping London bombers in 2005

[April 28, 2009]  LONDON (AP) -- A British jury has cleared three men of charges that they helped suicide bombers who killed 52 people on London's transit system in 2005.

Jurors at Kingston Crown Court found Waheed Ali, Sadeer Saleem, and Mohammed Shakil not guilty of conspiring to cause explosions with the bombers who blew themselves up aboard three subway trains and a bus on July 7, 2005.

Ali and Shakil were convicted of a lesser charge of conspiring to attend a terrorist training camp. They will be sentenced later.
