Wife of UK aircraft bomb plotter found innocent
LONDON — A London jury has acquitted the wife of a convicted bomb plotter of failing to pass on information to authorities.
Cossor Ali was declared not guilty on Friday following a three-week trial.
Her husband, Abdulla Ahmed Ali, was convicted in September of leading a conspiracy to murder hundreds of airline passengers by smuggling liquid explosives aboard as many as seven aircraft.
The discovery of the plot in 2006 led to immediate restrictions on taking liquids aboard planes and caused massive disruptions.
After the verdict was announced, 28-year-old Cossor Ali repeatedly said “thank you,” then quickly left the court.
