"Ghanaian" Charged Over Terror Attack

Three more people, including two of the men named as bombing suspects, have been charged with conspiracy to murder people in the 21 July London attacks.
Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 32, of Finsbury Park, north London, was charged last night with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life on July 21.

The charges are understood to relate to the discovery of a discarded rucksack that was found at Little Wormwood Scrubs, north west London, on July 23.

Unconfirmed sources indicate Asiedu is a British citizen of Ghanaian descent. However, some Ghanaians in London believe the accused might be using a "stolen identity"

Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, is suspected of the failed Hackney bus bombing while Ramzi Mohammed, 23, is suspected of the attempted Oval Tube bombing.

Suspected Warren Street bomber Yasin Omar was charged on Saturday.

In addition to the conspiracy to murder charge, Mr Ibrahim and Mr Mohammed, who were arrested in raids in west London on 29 July, and Mr Omar are accused of attempted murder, conspiracy to cause explosions and possession of an explosive substance.
