Hamdi Adus Isaac (also Hussain Osman or Osman Hussain) (born 27 July 1978) is a terrorist who was found guilty of having placed an explosive at the Shepherd's Bush tube station during the failed 21 July 2005 London bombings.[1] Born in Ethiopia, Hussain is a naturalised British citizen married to Yeshshiemebet Girma.
On 29 July 2005, he was arrested during a 40-officer raid at his brother-in-law's apartment in Rome, after mobile phone calls led police to believe he was hiding there.[2] He was later extradited to the UK in September under a European Arrest Warrant and charged with attempted murder.[2] He stood trial along with five other suspects.[1]
