From 'AFP':
A close friend of two of the bombers in the July 2005 suicide attacks in London was jailed for 16 months on Tuesday for possessing an Al-Qaeda training manual. Khalid Khaliq, 34, confessed to owning the manual on a CD which was discovered in a raid on his home by police investigating the July 7, 2005 attacks that saw four suicide bombers blow themselves up on underground trains and a bus, killing 52 others and injuring 700. He was arrested following the raid by anti-terror police. The CD contained a declaration of jihad or holy struggle, an interview with Osama bin Laden and information about weapons and tips on how to deal with being interviewed by police. A photograph showed Khaliq white-water rafting in north Wales with bombers Shehzad Tanweer and Mohammad Sidique Khan. Leeds Crown Court heard that all three men were also trustees of the Iqra book shop, a centre for young Muslims in the Beeston area of Leeds which was the focus of police investigations following the bombings.
