A BBC producer failed to give police information that would have helped track down the July 21 bombers, the trial was told.
Don't Panic, I'm Islamic, which featured the group paintballing and an interview with Mohammed Hamid, was shown on BBC2 on June 12, 2005.
Nasreen Suleaman, the producer, told the court that Hamid said he would use his £300 fee to settle the fine he had been given by magistrates for racially abusing two policemen at his Oxford Street stall.
Called as a defence witness, Miss Suleaman admitted that she had spoken to Hamid in the days following the July 21 attacks and found out he knew the wanted men...
Duncan Penny, prosecuting, said: "Did you tell him to go to the police?"
Ms Suleaman replied: "I don't think I needed to."

What does "I don't think I needed to" mean? That Nasreen Suleaman had no duty to tell him to give himself up because he certainly, she assumed, going to? Or, more likely, does it mean that she didn't think she had any duty to go directly to the police herself? To confirm the latter meaning, there is this:
"[s]he said she thought he was scared the fugitives might try to call him but did not contact the police because she felt under "no obligation" to do so."
She felt "no obligation." Apparently she is unaware of the meaning of "misprision of felony."
Will Nasreen Suleaman be allowed to keep her job at the BBC, continuing to help in its effort to apologize for Islam on every occasion, and of course to continue to blacken, in every possible way, the perception of the Infidel country that is the chief victims of violent Jihad, Israel, and of the Infidel country that is perceived by Muslims to be the most resolute and powerful leader of the Camp of Infidels, the United States.
Will Nasreen Suleaman avoid being charged by the state with other crimes -- the crime of failing to report what she knew in a case involving terrorist murder and those who trained, those who knew about it?
If she is not so charged, what will that tell the people of Great Britain about those who presume to instruct, and to protect them? How will they react, as they begin to realize that the political and media elites are paralyzed, or impotent, and that right smack in the middle of the BBC is a Muslim producer who feels she has no need to alert the police to possible terrorists.
What effect will that failure, either of the government to charge her, or of the BBC to discharge her, have on the sense of security that people in Great Britain need to have reinforced, whenever Islam is involved, and not undercut on every occasion? What effect will it have on the behavior of other Muslims, if Nasreen Suleaman does not suffer any consequences? What effect will the failure to charge her, and the failure to discharge her, have on the trust people need to have in their own institutions, including the long-discredited BBC and the more-recently discredited government?
