An 18-year-old woman was charged last night in connection with the alleged attempted bombings in London on July 21 last year.

She is accused of helping one of the alleged conspirators evade arrest and failing to disclose information about him. The woman, who has not been named, was arrested on September 27 with two other men who were released last night without charge.

She is due to appear today at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court.
