Prosecutors said they would consider whether to seek a retrial and that they would make a decision within a week. Judge Peter Gross ordered the men held in custody pending a decision on whether to hold a second trial in the case. The men, who acknowledged at their trial that they knew the four London suicide bombers, have been the only people charged over the attacks on the British capital's transit network. The bombings on July 7, 2005 killed 52 commuters on three underground subway trains and a bus. The accused, Waheed Ali, 25-years old, Sadeer Saleem, 28-years old and Mohammed Shakil, 32-years old, have all denied a charge of conspiring with the bombers to cause explosions. Following 15 days of deliberations, a jury at a London court said it could not agree on verdicts and was discharged. In evidence, prosecutors alleged that the three men had taken part in a test run for the 2005 attacks in December 2004, claiming they had joined some of the eventual bombers to scout out targets including subway stations and a host of tourist sites. Prosecutors claimed that the men had cased out possible targets in London, including the Natural History Museum, the iconic London Eye ferris wheel and the London Aquarium. Some of the locations bore "a striking similarity" to where London bombers Mohammed Siddique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Jermaine Lindsay and Hasib Hussain carried out their attacks on July 7, 2005, the prosecution team said. Ali acknowledged in evidence that he had travelled to Pakistan with Khan - the ringleader of the 2005 plot - in 2001 to attend a weapons training camp and again in 2004, when they were joined by Tanweer. He said the men planned to cross the border into Afghanistan to fight coalition troops, but claimed he became sick with diarrhea in Pakistan and could not make the trip. Ali said Khan made several visits there.
