A BBC journalist felt “no obligation” to contact police when an accused terrorist told her he knew the IDs of the 21/7 bombers, a court heard.
Mohammed Hamid, 50, revealed to Nasreen Suleaman he had associated with the bombers.
The journalist said she told senior BBC managers but no one called cops.
Miss Suleaman first met Hamid, dubbed ‘Osama Bin London’, when making a TV documentary in 2004, Woolwich Crown Court heard.
Miss Suleaman spoke again to Hamid soon after the failed bus and tube attacks in 2005.
She said: “He was worried that perhaps the men might call him because they were on the run.
She added: “I don’t think it’s my obligation to tell another adult that he should go to the police.”
Hamid, of Clapton, East London, and four others deny terror charges.
