A Somalian, Ramzi Mohammed (ar:رمزي محم) is a suspect in the attempted London bombing of July 21st 2005.
Ramzi is accused of being the would-be bomber of the Oval tube station train. He was arrested sharing an apartment with Muktar Said Ibrahim on 29 July 2005, amid rumours that he was a bus driver [1]. During the arrest, which reportedly culminated in Ramzi and Ibrahim standing near-naked on their balcony to avoid tear gas that police had used[2], Ramzi is reported to have repeatedly shouted "I have rights, I have rights!" to the media covering the event.
Later, it was discovered that Ramzi had tried to have the local imam at Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre in North Kensington removed over religious disagreements. [3] Together with his brother Whabi Mohammad, Ramzi used to set up a table with Islamic literature at local football games.[4]
His brother Whabi Mohammad was also arrested in a separate raid outside Notting Hill[5]
As of February 2007 he is currently standing trial along with 5 others for his alleged part in the bombings[6]. On the 24th of January, the court released dramatic video of Ramzi Mohammed attempting to detonate his device. After failing, the carriage quickly emptied, apart from one man who stayed behind to reason with him, a retired fireman. [7]
