During his trial, Asiedu admitted to purchasing materials but claimed the plot was a protest against the Iraq war and not intended to cause harm. He said he had dumped the explosives in a West London park.
Tory MP Mark Francois said: 'Given the number murdered on 7/7, it's obscene that anyone involved in a similar plot should be released early, whether subsequently deported or not. This is a truly awful decision.'
Asiedu tried to paint himself as an innocent victim unwittingly caught up in their murderous plans and claimed he thought the devices were fake up until the night before the attack.
Four other men, Muktar Said Ibrahim, Ramzi Mohammed, Yassin Omar and Hussain Osman, were found guilty and were told they will serve a minimum of 40 years in prison.
