A British couple have been convicted of planning a major terror attack to mark the 10th anniversary of the deadly London bombings.

A court in London said Mohammed Rehman, 25, used the Twitter name "Silent Bomber" asking other users whether he should bomb a shopping center or the London Underground train network.

The tweet was accompanied by a link to a press release by al-Qaeda about the July 2005 bombings in which four men attacked London's transport system killing at least fifty-two people.

Rehman and his wife Sana Ahmed Khan were found guilty by a jury at the Old Bailey in London, England's central criminal court.

Meanwhile, police seized more than 10 kilograms of urea nitrate, which can be used to manufacture a large bomb, from their house.

Security sources said, If detonated on the London Underground, the bomb they were preparing would have caused multiple fatalities.
