Prosecutor outlines London transit system bombing case

Six men plotted to kill London transport passengers with bombs made from hydrogen peroxide and chapati flour, a British prosecutor told a jury yesterday.

No one was killed in the attempted bombings July 21, 2005, because the devices failed to explode.

"We say that the failure of these bombs to explode has nothing to do with the intentions of the defendants. It was simply the good fortune of the traveling public that this day they were spared," prosecutor Nigel Sweeney said, in outlining the government's case.
