LONDON (Reuters) - Four British men ran or attended terrorism training camps in Britain.

Here are brief details:

MOHAMMED HAMID

Hamid, 50, who went under numerous aliases, was born in Tanzania and came to Britain when he was five, living in West Yorkshire.

He moved to Hackney in east London in 1969 which is where he lived with his wife and three children.

He was connected to extremist Muslim clerics Sheik Abdullah el-Faisal and Abu Hamza al-Masri, who have both been jailed for encouraging their followers in Britain to murder non-believers, and had been in Pakistan in 2002.

Most notably Hamid had links to those who attempted to bomb London on July 21, 2005 but failed because their devices did not go off.

Four of the July 21 bombers attended camps he ran, while he sent a text message after the July 7 2005 bombings to Hussein Osman, one of the men jailed for the botched attacks.
