Mohammad Sidique Khan was one of the four suicide bombers who attacked London in 2005 The widow of a 7/7 suicide bomber has lost her High Court bid to overturn a decision refusing her legal aid.
Hasina Patel had wanted legal aid for representation at the forthcoming inquest into the deaths of 52 people in the attacks in London.
She was married to suicide bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan.
But Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Silber said the decision by the Lord Chancellor “cannot be described as unreasonable or irrational”.
A hearing held earlier this week had heard an argument on her behalf that the decision to deny her legal aid was “unfair, irrational and unlawful”.
Khan was one of the four men who carried out the suicide bombings on London’s transport network in July 2005.
