WASHINGTON (CNN) -- British authorities denied a U.S. request to apprehend a man believed to have ties to the July 7 London bombings weeks before the deadly attacks, sources familiar with the investigation said Thursday.
Haroon Rashid Aswat, 30, a British-born citizen of Indian heritage, is in custody in Zambia, U.S. and Zambian officials told CNN.
U.S. authorities wanted to capture Aswat, who was then in South Africa, and question him about a 1999 plot to establish a "jihad training camp" in Bly, Oregon.

We are lucky the US didn't have to pay for their irresponsibility. Of course, we may yet have to. In which case England should suffer the might of our military. Same for our other "allies".
Like Walter Williams' approach in his classes. If your cell phone goes off during his lecture nothing happens to you. The people seated on either side of you instead are punished.
Well, ole Tony didn't want to make Cherie mad at him!
