Allegedly involved in the second set of [[w:July 2005 London bombings|attacks on London in July]], which targeted the city's public transport infrastructure, Osman was arrested in [[w:Rome|Rome]] by Italian police on July 29, just one week after the failed attacks.

On September 13, a final appeal against extradition was rejected by an Italian court despite his lawyer's protests that he could not get a fair trial in the UK.

His flight subsequent to the attack proved futile as phone records led police to Rome, and a raid on his brother's apartment, where he was captured.

Pending his extradition, he was held at Rebibbia jail, Rome, a high-security facility on the outskirts of the city.  He left the jail late on Thursday and the [[w:Ethiopia|Ethiopian]]-born terror suspect flew out of Italy at 12pm local time, accompanied by officers from the [[w:Metropolitan Police|Metropolitan police]].  Flying on a chartered private jet, Osman and his escort landed at [[w:Royal Air Force|RAF]] Northolt, where Osman was charged on arrival.
