LONDON (Reuters) - British police charged two women under anti-terrorism laws on Thursday for failing to give police information after the botched July 21 attempts to bomb London.
Police said Yeshshiembet Girma, 28, and Muluemebet Girma, 21, of London, will appear at the capital's Bow Street Magistrates' Court on Friday charged under the Terrorism Act 2000.
They were arrested on July 27 in an armed raid on a public housing estate in the Stockwell area of south London.
Police accused them of failing to give information to detectives which could help convict someone "for an offence involving the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism."
The failed bombings on July 21 came two weeks after four suicide bombers killed 52 people in three underground trains and a bus. Police have linked the suicide bombers to al Qaeda.
Thousands of police took to the streets on Thursday to reassure jittery Londoners as al Qaeda warned there would be more attacks.
