According to this BBC report "Five men who helped the bombers in the aftermath of the failed London attacks on 21 July 2005 have been jailed on terror charges.
Kingston Crown Court heard they had provided the plotters with safe houses, passports, clothing and food.
Their efforts enabled the bombers to evade being caught for some time.
Muhedin Ali, 29, Wahbi Mohammed, 25, Ismail Abdurahman, 25, Siraj Ali, 32, and Abdul Sherif, 30, all from London, were given between seven and 17 years.
Between them, they were convicted of 22 charges of failing to disclose information about terrorism and assisting an offender..."
The BBC do report that "Judge Paul Worsley QC, sentencing, said none of the men had shown any remorse and they must serve lengthy prison sentences to protect the public.
But he said the sentences at the court's disposal were "woefully inadequate to reflect the enormity" of the case.
He also said the need for armed police to enter Stockwell tube station on the 22 July when an innocent Brazilian was shot dead could have been avoided if the men had disclosed information about the bombers' identity and whereabouts."
The sentences are indeed ridiculously low, between 7 and 17 years, bearing in mind the crimes committed.
Please read the whole article and see if you can spot what common factor that links these five men is not mentioned.
