VIDEO images of one of the alleged July 21 terror plotters escaping disguised as a Muslim woman in a burka have been released. >> See the
video clip Yassin Omar fled London in the traditional Muslim women's dress the day after he made a failed attempt to detonate a rucksack bomb on a Tube train near London's Warren Street station, it is alleged. The footage shows Omar, 26, in the black burka mingling with ordinary commuters at Digbeth coach station in Birmingham on July 22. The head-to-toe outfit gave others at the coach station no clue that the man inside was, at the time, wanted by anti-terror police over the alleged attempt to bomb London's transport system the previous day. Woolwich Crown Court has already heard how, earlier in the day, Omar was captured on CCTV wearing the burka at Golders Green coach station in north London. He was eventually arrested at a house in Heybarnes Road, Hay Mills, Birmingham on Wednesday, July 27. The July 21 trial heard yesterday how firearms officers nearly gunned Omar down when they found him in the house standing in a bath wearing what they feared was a rucksack filled with explosives.
 Specialist police officers told Woolwich Crown Court how stun grenades were thrown into every room before a violent struggle ensued with the defendant. One officer said he punched Omar - who was fully clothed - as hard as he could in the face while another repeatedly stunned him with a Taser gun. At one point another officer had the safety catch off his sub-machine gun and was aiming his weapon at the back of Omar's head. Omar is one of six men accused of hatching an extremist Muslim plot to detonate shrapnel-packed rucksack bombs on the London transport system exactly two weeks after the July 7 terror attacks. The CCTV clearly shows Omar, who is more than 6ft tall, carrying a light coloured handbag as he meanders through the coach station. Other commuters turn their heads to look at him as he wanders past. Images were also released today of the house where Omar was arrested in a dawn raid by specialist armed police officers from West Midlands Police and of the bath where they found him.
 The first picture shows the exterior of the semi-detached red brick house in Heybarnes Road, Birmingham. It has a blue door, but is otherwise unremarkable in appearance. The second picture shows a shower head dangling into a grubby, cream bath, with a mobile phone next to the plughole. That was taken by police following Omar's arrest. The 26-year-old was handed over to the Metropolitan Police. All of the images have been shown to the jury in the case. Omar, from New Southgate in north London, is one of six defendants who deny charges of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life. His co-defendants are Muktar Said Ibrahim, 29, of Stoke Newington, north London, Adel Yahya, 29, of High Road, Tottenham, north London, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 33, of no fixed address, Hussain Osman, 28, also of no fixed address, and Ramzi Mohammed, 25, of North Kensington, west London.
