Two freed in alleged terrorism plot

From Times Wire Reports | November 2, 2006

Two brothers charged in an alleged plot to blow up U.S.-bound airliners were released after a British court ruled the evidence against them was insufficient to warrant a trial.

Umair Hussain, 25, and Mehran Hussain, 23, had been charged with failing to disclose information about an act of terrorism in connection with the alleged plot.

The two had been accused of withholding information about their brother, Nabeel Hussain, 22, who is one of 11 people charged with conspiracy to commit murder and preparing acts of terrorism.
