Suspected London bomb maker sought
Newsday ^ | July 14, 2005 | BY KNUT ROYCE AND JOHN RILEY

British police and intelligence officials have launched a nationwide manhunt for a man identified as a likely bomb maker in last week's London attacks, who was seen on a security tape with the four suspected bombers, according to a U.S. official.

"They know who No. 5 is," said the official, who has access to substantial intelligence flowing from the bomb investigation but asked to not be identified.

The man was pictured on a closed-circuit security tape with the four bombers just before they entered London's Underground on July 7 with backpacks the police believe contained bombs. He is British and dark-skinned, apparently of Caribbean descent, the official said.

The bombers, who police believe died in apparent suicide attacks, have been identified as Britons of Pakistani ancestry. The official said the fifth man was involved in the assembly of the bombs, but British authorities do not believe he was the mastermind of the plot.

A video camera in King's Cross Station in North London captured the five men huddling together at about 8:30 on the morning of the bombings. Then, said the official, "The four goons [suicide bombers] went their way, and No. 5 went his."

There was a report some months back on a Trinidadian Islamofascist who was under scrutiny.

Good question. I can only guess the police may know where he is and don't want to tip off a certain group of people.

Which would mean they might not have been suicide bombers - I lean to something like that myself. 19-year-olds cheerfully (they were laughing and apparently joking) going on a suicide mission? Maybe - but maybe they were duped.

there remains significant speculation in the UK that those 'suicide' bombers didn't know of their appointment with the reaper, after all, suicide bombers rarely need timing devices.

there are so many odd things about the suspects that don't match with what we think is the profile.

the concern in the UK is that 'outhere' is a chap who appears able to persuade integrated, non-religous, westernised and intelligent young men to do this. all had decent jobs or prospects, all had close white friends, and none had been particularly religous or observant.

i don't wear a tinfoil hat, but there is someing very odd going on.
