Version 0 of 1.

A jury has been sworn in for the trial of six men accused of attempting to carry out bomb attacks in London.

The nine women and three men were selected from a panel of more than 100 at Woolwich Crown Court.

The case against Muktar Said Ibrahim, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, Hussain Osman, Yassin Omar, Ramzi Mohammed and Adel Yahya is due to begin on Monday.

They are charged with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions on 21 July 2005.

The trial is expected to last for up to four months.

The judge Mr Justice Fulford told the jury: "It is on the basis of the evidence in this court and nothing else that you will be asked to reach your verdict in this case.

"You must remain wholly unaffected by any emotion and you must be wholly unaffected by any feelings of apprehension that you might have had in 2005."

The panel of potential jurors were asked to consider a series of questions before selection took place.
