The jury in the July 21 terror trial has retired to consider its verdicts.

Six men are accused of taking part in an extremist Muslim plot to carry out a series of suicide bombings on the London transport system two weeks after the attacks on July 7 2005.

They all deny conspiracy to murder.

Four of the men claim the hydrogen peroxide and chapatti flour rucksack devices were a hoax.

Another claims they were real bombs but that he was duped, while the sixth man denies having anything to do with the alleged conspiracy.

On trial at Woolwich Crown Court are Muktar Said Ibrahim, 29, of Stoke Newington, north London, Yassin Omar, 26, of New Southgate, North London, Hussain Osman, 28, of no fixed address, Ramzi Mohammed, 25, of North Kensington, West London, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 34, of no fixed address and Adel Yahya, 24, of High Road, Tottenham, North London.
