Three of the bombers were of Pakistani origin: UK Police July 13, 2005 06:49:00 AM

.LONDON FGN2

H S Rao London, July 13 (PTI) In a sensational breakthrough into the investigation in the London bombings, the police said at least three of the bombers are believed to be British males of Pakistani origin who lived in West Yorkshire in Leeds.

Police said they believe four men including the three Pakistani origin persons who arrived at King's Cross last Thursday morning on a train from Leeds were behind the terrorist bomb attack that killed at least 52 people and injured 700 on three tube trains and one bus.

Detectives are still unsure about the identity of the fourth bomber.

CCTV footage at King's Cross station showed the four suspected bombers together at 8.30am, Deputy assistant commissioner Peter Clarke, the head of the Metropolitan police's anti-terrorism branch, told a press conference here last night.

The three tube blasts - at Aldgate, King's Cross and Edgware Road - came within a minute of each other at 8.51 am.

The bus bomb detonated 57 minutes later as the No 30 passed through Tavistock Square in Bloomsbury, central London.

The bus bomber is believed to be dead, and police said there was "strong forensic and other evidence" a second bomber died at Aldgate. Investigators are now trying to establish if the other two are alive or died in the explosions.

A relative of one of the suspects was arrested in West Yorkshire yesterday and was being brought to London to be quizzed by the anti-terrorist branch. PTI

Why haven't mideast countries been told that if terrorism is linked directly back to immigrants and travelers from their countries, reprisals will be taken on a 10,000-1 casualty ratio? I think our most of our human 'intelligence crisis' would suddenly clear right up.

Just stay as far away as possible from Middle Eastern looking people...with pack packs or packages...or mobile phones. You might save your life.

Nothing in Islam can ever justify the evil actions of the bombers."

Obviously the good Imam has not read his K'oran lately.
