Woman tried to help terrorist bomber

A woman rushed to help one of the alleged July 21 London terrorists after he detonated his rucksack bomb because she thought he had been shot, a court heard yesterday.

Ann Coyne was peering over the prostrate figure of alleged Shepherd's Bush bomber Hussain Osman when she noticed a thick yellow substance oozing from the bag on his back.

It was only then that her mother-in-law pulled her away, warning that the young man was a bomber.

The evidence was presented during the trial of six men accused of plotting to murder in the attempted bombings in London in 2005.
