Ibrahim Savant, Arafat Waheed Khan and Waheed Zaman, all from London, were found guilty by a jury at Woolwich Crown Court in London and could face life imprisonment when they are sentenced.

The trio were tried last year in connection with a 2006 plot to blow up seven transatlantic flights from Britain to North America using liquid explosives, but cleared of specifically targeting airlines.
