33 YEARS JAIL FOR BOMBER WHO LOST HIS NERVE AT LAST MINUTE

THE fifth failed July 21 suicide bomber was jailed for 33 years yesterday and will be booted out of Britain once he is free.

Manfo Asiedu, 34, joined the gang of would-be mass murderers setting out to attack London’s transport network with rucksack bombs.

But then he lost his nerve and dumped his device before fleeing.

His bomb was made of chapati flour and liquid peroxide, inside a plastic container with screws and washers taped to the side.

It was to be set off by a detonator made of a cardboard tube, containing an explosive, and a torch bulb attached to a battery.

The bomb was found near Wormwood Scrubs prison, in west London.

The devices carried by the other four suicide bombers failed to explode and they were caught after a huge investigation by Scotland Yard.
