LONDON — The partner of a failed suicide bomber was jailed for 15 years Thursday for not telling police about his plans to carry out an attack on the London subway system.
Judge Paul Worsley told Yeshimebet (Yeshi) Girma, 32, that it was clear she knew of plans by her partner, Hussain Osman, to set off explosions on the transit system on July 21, 2005. The bombs failed to explode fully and no one was injured.
“You could have done much more to prevent the terrorist threat to the public had you revealed what you knew,” Worsley said.
A jury in London found Girma guilty Wednesday of failing to provide information of the attempted attack, which came two weeks after four suicide bombers killed 52 subway and bus passengers in London. She was also found guilty of assisting an offender and failing to disclose information about his involvement
Girma, who has three children with Osman, said she knew little of what he was doing and claimed they they did not live together. The Crown Prosecution Service said she was his wife.
Girma’s brother, Esayas Girma, 22, and sister, Mulu Girma, 24, were jailed for ten years each for assisting an offender and failing to disclose information.
Worsley said the sentences reflected public condemnation of their actions, and were intended to deter others.

A good lesson to other terrorists.

Justice served
Our Ethiopian fathers taught us to be good citizens, always to tell the truth, to care for others, and pray for their safety and prosperity. We need the police to protect us from criminals, and the police need our cooperation to isolate the criminals and bring them to justice. Most of us Ethiopians hate to see someone like Yeshi Girma and others tarnish our good Ethiopian names, and I’m glad such perpetrators are punished for what they have done. Had Yeshi Girma told the police the evil plan of her husband, she could have saved the Londoners’ tax money, and the money wasted for the investigation of the plot could have helped many unemployed Ethiopians living in London.
A ver well deserved penality. Everybody nows how such idiots are damaging our identity. Infact if I were the judge, I could have delivered better.
Oh my God! This is a pure miscarriage of justice. Justice has been neglected in broad daylight to appease the devil and cosequently innocent people are wrongly punished.
Yeshi Girma and other accompices have shown their rotten careless and failed to collaborate with the public in combating terrorists. Alas, what a shame!
These bad elements are really the residue of a bad history and they deserve what they should for their utter collaboration with the known terrorists. Let them enjoy the prisoon life as they are destined to live in it for the crime they committed.
She deserves it.
Yeman Kebet Nech,Esuan Bilo Ashebari!
We Ethiopians are raised through good discipline and modesty.We are not obnoxious to others.If we are plundered,we never hesitate to be aggressive.
It is a good lesson for others involved in dirty games.
Why we rush to condemn her with out the real fact.she is a mother three.
Degmo esual bilo ashebari! Ezih Addis Ababa metita woyanneen bitashebir tiru neber…
She is lucky she got only 15 years and could be out in 10 years. She will be fed with tax payers money. She is also lucky she is in the oldest democratic country, where individual rights are core of the legal system. Millions of Ethiopians are craving for years for days to come where every one is equal before the law. There is no excuse for someone who tries to abuse this fundamemtal values of human beings.
A lot of Ethiopians live in foreign countries because of the injustices and atrocities unleashed on the citizens by the successive fascist governments inlcuding the Woyanes.
Justice is served.
Dear Ethiopiaw,
Being a mother of three can never be a good reason not to condemen her.. she has been an accomplice to the vicious acts of her terrorist husband .. and had it not been for the mercy of God, her husband’s and her action would have claimed the lives of many children and adults as well which in turn could have left many kids without parents.. and the country would have lost many novel lives ..imagine, she has been reaping what the nation has been offering to her, and in return she and her accomplice tried to cut the hands of their helpers.. desperate crime.. Justie is served…. this is treason which could have led to death penality if there was any in UK.
Being a mother should have given her more of a reason to stop this idot from doing what he did. She should have known that children like hers, mothers like herself could be hurt by what he was doing.
I do not have sympathy to the people who are trying to destroy their host countries. We are chased out of our own country. We are made homeless by dictators. Yet we go around and try to hurt those who gave us home and comfort. It is unbelievable.
I don’t support the death penality, but I would reconsider my position for scums like this woman and her terrorist husband.
Can some one notify the London police to arrest the TPLF mafia group memebers in London, since they have directly and indirectly have been involved in terririzing and killing of the Ethiopian people. The weyane embassy in london is also a best tool for terrerizing the Ethiopians around london, so can some one tell the london police officers so that they can chase and arrest these DEDEB weyane caders in London.
Your fellow Ethiopian,
1st and foremost I would like to comment about this particular person who wrote this:
8. Ethiopiaw says:

Justice has been served, it took them nearly 3 years to gather evidence so that she can be judged fairly. What more do you want?
Furthermore, she is a mother OF three. Get the grammar right.
She and her entire families deserve more than these. She made her big mistake at the beginning by converting herself to Muslim and the other big mistake involving in the killing of innocent people. Crying after the sentence for her kids will not help. If she really cares about her kids she would not involved in such an evil act at the beginning. What is she going to do if one of her kid or her sister and brother are among the dead in her husbands evil act???? Her and her idiots brother and sister deserve more than this . I hate terrorist and if I see any body even my brother involving in such evil act , I will not hesitate to inform authorities.
We Ethiopians are ashamed of her , her families and her husbands evil act. Yetabatwa !!
WELL DONE BRITISH COURT.In the first place she christian ,but married to arab’s muslim. dcould not she get one ethiopian from her own religion? secondly, if she changed her religion , she would have to change her name to fatima or . but she deserved even more than that. as far as she is one of those terrorists who killed 53 innocent ppl , she should be stayed behind the baar in her life.Can you immagine, she came from the country where there is no law , justice and order, join the british society, asked them to give her shelther , food , cloths and chnace to stay in britian, they gave her all these possibilities finally when she decided to cooperate and kill innocent ppl.this bloody sheremuta supposed to get death penality. the court hastaken the wrong decission. ethiopians will never accept such an act of arrogants.

Yeshi Girma, if she is going to be lucky, and work really hard, in search of her lost dear lord she will find him in her 15 years prison journey.
She betrayed God and collaborated with a known ruthless terrorist to harm human life and destroy property. She clearly tried to escape from the justice but was caught red handed while aiding and abating the terrorist; now, she is serving herself all sorts of bitter dishes for the next fifteen years in a British prison.
What is sad is, she and her terrorist husband brought the unlucky children to this world carelessly and left them for a prison. The good thing is, the government will takecare of these innocent children; and for sure, they will be reared in a favourable environment. When these kids reach in their full potential, they will realize how their terrorist mother, yeshi Grim and her terrorist husband acted devlishly in harming human beings.
I can’t believe how many ppl up in here wanted to kiss the Birt ass! Who the hell are you to condom anybody? To me , it looks like The british Govenment made a SCAPEGOAT out of our sisters and brothers. Shame on some of you Ethiopians to give comment about my ppl. Since when do we tell our spouse or girlfriend what we do outside the house let alone a muslim wife!!!!!!!

Additional Suppliment:
Terrorism is destructive; and those bad elements like Yeshi Girma, her terrorist husband, and other collaborators have gotten into distructive life and are now in prison serving life and 15 years.
No sympathy for the devils, no parole for terrorists, and no place in the society for bad individuals like yeshi girma.
The first gross and filthy mistake she made in her life was that she willingle submit herself to a terrorist and subjected herself to being brainwashed;then, involved in anti-society activities with absolute intent to destroy the life of children, women, the elderly and the hard working men and women.
O, God; peace be on the earth. Yeshi Girma and her terrorist husband are locked up in jail with no parole and sympathy.
Yeshi Girma, what a jerk a terrorist and a complete loser! If she had really planned to bring innocent lives into this world, she would have good men who would take care of her;but she made a wrong choice from among the worst ones.
she should have thought more than twice before she was involved in destructive acquaintance and association which conseqently lead her into a marriage that born bitter fruits of terrorism.
Now, in prison, she must seek a path to search for her original soul, and once she finds her true soul, she must confess her gross and dispecable sins to God and cleanse herself of the sinful stagnant water that she was drenched in.
There are innocent mothers who are jailed or even killed in Addis-Ababa,Ogaden and all over Ethiopia for the sins of their relatives.Yeshi Girma might be anothetr victim of collective punishment.I sense a very strong ani-Islamic feelings here and tha`s very sad indeed!!!!
she deserve morethan this.
Christian or Muslim, Yeshi Girma has failed to understand the value of human life both Islam and Christianity advocate human life is more important than anything else in this world.
Yeshi herself is more than a terriorist. She in actuality has committed the same crime as her jihadist husband and family.
The truth, I guess, is these are just new converts. Such crimes are frequently committed by the latest converts. And as such these are people, I presume, who never know about the very religion they follow. These are not Islams. We have been living with muslims who know what it is, who know what it says and what it demands. True muslims never created such havoc for the thousands of years of a harmonious living with all thier neighbours of different religions and different colors accross this globe. My fellows, Yeshi and her terriorist gang family are people who were “christians?” weeks/days ago.
We all have to join hands to deplore such inhumane and ungodly act by “people?” who are niether here nor there.
This filthy terrorists who tried to kill innocent british were from Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea. The british gave them sanctuary, food to eat and clothes to wear. and most of them went to colleges for free.
I say they are evils since Saudi Arabia, Iran or any fanatic arab country wouldn’t provide them such privilages. Infact many Ethiopians, somalis and eritreans treated badly in many moslim countries. They are lucky to get away with 10 and 15 years. If i was the judge, it would have been severe
Alex, you said “To me,it looks like The british Govenment made a SCAPEGOAT out of our sisters and brothers”. To begin with, i don’t consider these type of ‘atelas’ to be my brothers or sisters. Besides, how did it look to you that way? Have u followed the court process to come up with that “logic”? How ’bout our sisters in the middle-east(Christian or Moslem), are they the ones who are gettin’ a good treatment & comfort?
The human mind can defeat others but it can also be defeated easily. The criminal mind is specially more powerful than a lot of people have assumed in the past. What YESHI and her siblings have done is undoubtely wrong and consequently the sentence is justifiable. However you have to try and imagine being in their situations, Where by the father of your children and the love of your life is going to be estranged from you? In this kind of circumstances a person is emotional, is worried about their children and their future and therefore the decisions they make may not necessarly have been thought through. The brother has clearly been brain washed into extremism and most probably she has also been. The police and the judge has blamed YESHI for the murder of Jean charles Demenze where as in reality she may not have been able to stop his murder even by reporting her husband before hand. Compare the case with Arsema Dawits murder, where by they are not willing to take responsibility for their late reaction.
don’t worry sister Yeshmi, we will break you out, and punish the ones in the english government who think that they can rape, bomb, murder, torture and kill little babies in Iraq, and expect no one to take revenge. They think it is their obligation to kill like chickens little Muslim babies in Afghanistan and Iraq, they will on an average day slaughter 100 Muslim kids, playing in a village in Afghanistan, and than express “outrage” and “shock” when someone tries to put them in their place. All of you who are condemning her, get a life, go protect the innocent villagers of Afghanistan before you try to suck the dick of the aristocrats in London.
i note that”someone says” is not brave enough to put a name to that comment
