London - One of the prime suspects in a failed bid to repeat the July 7 bombings in London got married four days before the alleged crime, a source at the mosque where he tied the knot said on Wednesday.

Yasin Hassan Omar, 24, wedded his bride on July 17 in a private ceremony before family and close friends at North Finchley mosque in north London, where he had been a regular worshipper for the past year.

"He came in that day with his family. Just after prayers they announced there was a bride and a marriage," a source at the mosque was quoted as saying by Britain's domestic Press Association news agency.

"They got married and there was a small feast for whoever was present and they shared some food. There were not a lot of people there, it was just his close family and friends, and it was just like other marriages."

Somali-born Omar appeared in court on Monday charged with two others with attempted murder, conspiracy and possession of explosives in connection with the July 21 bid to repeat the July 7 bombings.

Fifty-six people were killed in the July 7 morning rush-hour attacks on three Underground subway trains and a double-decker bus, including four apparent suicide bombers.

Detectives from London's metropolitan police are studying a list of guests which has been given to them by the North Finchley mosque, pending the return from holiday of the imam who conducted the ceremony.
