21 July plotter 'linked to 7/7'

The alleged head of the 21 July London bombing suspects has been accused
in court of collaborating with the 7 July suicide bombers.

Woolwich Crown Court heard Mukhtar Ibrahim was in Pakistan at the same time
as Mohammed Sidique Khan, one of the four to blow themselves up in 2005.

But Mr Ibrahim denied he met Khan or fellow suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer.

He said he had built hoax devices because he was angry about the treatment
of Muslims around the world.
