Bomb suspect's relatives bailed
Omar Khan Sharif
A body found in Tel Aviv is thought to be Omar Sharif's

The wife and brother of suspected British suicide bomber Omar Sharif have been given bail at the Old Bailey.

Mr Sharif's wife Tahira Tabassum, 27, and his brother Zahid Hussain, 36, were given conditional bail by a judge in chambers.

A similar application by Mr Sharif's sister Parveef, 35, did not go ahead and she remains in custody.

The trio, all from Derby, are due to appear for a preliminary hearing at the court next week.

They are charged with failing to disclose information about a terrorist act.

They were arrested two weeks ago after a bomb blast in Tel Aviv killed three people.

Israeli authorities claim the attack was carried out by Mr Sharif, 27, and fellow Briton Asif Hanif, 21.

The body of a man later discovered in Tel Aviv has not been formally identified but was thought to be Mr Sharif.

Mr Hanif died during the original attack.
