Revealed: The men 'who helped 7/7 bombers select their targets'

The three were due to stand trial today - the first prosecution in connection with the atrocity - on charges of conspiring with the four suicide bombers to cause explosions.

As a jury for their trial was sworn in today, a judge lifted an order banning publication of drawings or photographs of the accused men.

Waheed Ali, 24, Sadeer Saleem, 27, and Mohammed Shakil, 31, all deny conspiring to cause explosions.

The four suicide bombers, Mohammed Saddique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Jermain Lindsay and Hasib Hussain, murdered 52 innocent people when they set off bombs on the capital's transport network in 2005.

Accused: Mohammed Shakil, Waheed Ali and Sadeer Saleem, all from Leeds

The three men due to stand trial today are all originally from the Beeston area of Leeds, although before his arrest Ali had been living in Tower Hamlets.

They were arrested in March last year after a 21-month inquiry by detectives from Scotland Yard's counter terrorism command.

Two were held at Manchester airport and a third man was seized at his home in Beeston. The arrests were the first in connection with the London bombings.

The prosecution, led by Neil Flewitt QC, is expected to begin outlining its case at Kingston Crown Court tomorrow.

All three men deny conspiring unlawfully and maliciously to cause by explosive substance an explosion likely to endanger lives or cause serious injury to persons or damage property in the UK.
