| THESE are the dramatic pictures which show 21/7 bomb plot suspect Yassin Omar fleeing London dressed as a Muslim woman in a burkha. The CCTV, played to the jury yesterday, clearly captures 6ft 2in Omar wearing a head to foot black dress and veil and carrying a white handbag the day after the failed attempt to blow up the capital's transport system. Other commuters turn their heads to look at the tall "woman" as he wanders past. Omar, the alleged Warren Street Tube bomber, admitted he had shaved his arms and the back of his hands. He said: "I didn't want to be noticed. I was scared. I wanted to look like a woman. I dressed like a woman." He was filmed at Digbeth coach station in Birmingham having caught a National Express coach from Golders Green in North London. Omar is seen sitting on a bench at the station after his three hour coach journey. Then a red Nissan Sunny car picks him up. Earlier CCTV shots showed him towering over a woman companion as they made their way to Golders Green station. The Woolwich crown court jury earlier heard Omar, wearing a rucksack on his arrest in Birmingham, was nearly shot by police who feared he had a bomb. He was held six days after the failed chapatti flour and hydrogen peroxide bomb attacks on July 21, 2005. He was driven to London, for questioning. Det Con David Hillier told the court he asked 26-year-old Omar on the journey if he still possessed anything which could harm anyone. Omar allegedly said: "I didn't know what I was doing. I was at the station when the bomb scare went off. I went to Victoria, then to another station. I was on the Tube at the time of the explosions. I didn't know it was going to go off. I didn't want to hurt anyone. I didn't make the explosives. "I was told to collect it. I went to an alleyway near a shop and collected the rucksack." |
