UK has strict laws regarding pre-trial publicity so expect some news to dry up for a while as charges are prepared by prosecutors. In fact the MSM has been asked already to limit speculation etc, hence the Times' woolly references.
Good ol' (lefty) Mirror has no such scruples, gives a name to "Mr Big".
P.S. "Brum" = Birmingham, England.
Pakistani officials who grabbed Rauf in Karachi on Wednesday following a tip-off from the UK knew him under his alias of Maitur Rehman.
"Rehman" is alleged to be a Al-Q biggie, other reports do not claim he's the same guy as Rauf.

Who is most likely to be the British Al-Qaeda Leader ?
Could it be Shamin Mohammed Uddin ?
He's almost 36 and is the oldest of those currently arrested.

Yeah I've read about Rauf last couple of days:
Probe Into Air Plot Focuses on Brothers Sunday, August 13, 2006 By ROBERT BARR LONDON - The investigation into a plot to blow up jetliners over the Atlantic zeroed in Saturday on brothers arrested in Pakistan and Britain, one named as a key al-Qaida suspect who left the family's home in England years ago and the other described as gentle and polite.
British authorities, meanwhile, warned against complacency, saying the detention of several dozen suspects had not eliminated the danger. The terror threat level in Britain remained "critical" _ its highest designation _ and delays, flight cancellations and intense security continued to greet travelers at London airports.
"No one should be under any illusion that the threat ended with the recent arrests. It didn't," Home Secretary John Reid told police chiefs at a breakfast meeting. "All of us know that this investigation hasn't ended."

That would be my guess, as well. But who knows? Nothing about these damed Islamonazis is what we would consider to be "normal". It could be someone in his late 20s, just as easily.

"The brothers all work in the family's baking and confectionery business, run by their 52-year-old father Abdul.
Lock-up garages belonging to the business were among buildings raided by police."

You never know if your neighborhood baker is a terrorist.
It's amazing, they blend into society, while planning to destroy it.
And I bet the ACLU would tell us how horrible it is to monitor the phones of this innocent baker family.

Lock him up in the Tower of London and throw away the key!

He denied any contact; hadn't forgotten about his sorry ass. I hope the ax falls.

Indeed they can be Atchafalaya. And even more than they, the Brits are one of the most devious people on earth. Just study intelligence in the Second World War to see the truth. The Coventry Secret (not evacuating before the bombing because it might reveal they knew the code), the decoy of the body of the "fake diplomat" washing ashore in Spain before the invasion of Sicily carrying papers saying it was going to be a landing in France, the "phony army" under Patton's command sending meaningless radio signals prior to D-Day to convince the Gerries that the Pas de Calais was the real target, and on and on.
I have no doubt that when we learn the full truth of this operation we're going to see some more creative thinking on their part.
