Alleged 21 July bomber Muktar Said Ibrahim says he didn't intend to set off his device.

One of the alleged 21 July bombers has told his trial he detonated his device by mistake.

Muktar Said Ibrahim told Woolwich Crown Court he hadn't intended to set off his hydrogen peroxide and chapati flour device on a bus.

He said he was heading home at the time after deciding to call off his hoax suicide mission.

Ibrahim is one of six men accused of conspiracy to murder and cause explosions on London's public transport network.
