One of the bombers in last week's attacks made a direct phone call to a suspected recruiter for an extremist group in New York.
Authorities told ABC News that records show Mohammed Sidique Khan, the eldest of the bombers now believed to be the field commander of the attacks, had called a person who is associated with the Islamic Center, a mosque in Queens, N.Y. Yet, a member of that mosque claimed they had no knowledge of the phone call.
In addition to Khan, two other men linked to the London bombings also had direct ties with the United States.
"Whilst we are watching the ports and the airports trying to prevent people from coming in," said M.J. Gohel, a terrorism analyst at the Asia-Pacific Foundation, "al Qaeda and its global jihadi friends are a step ahead. They have already penetrated into the West and are recruiting Western born Muslims to join terrorism."
Lindsay Germaine, one of the four dead bombers and a Jamaican who left behind a pregnant wife, had recently traveled to see relatives in Ohio.
Furthermore, Magdy El Nashar, 33, who was captured last night at his family's home outside of Cairo and then questioned by British agents, studied at North Carolina State University. Police believe he helped the bombers build their explosive devices. Now they want to know if there are more bombs and would-be bombers.
"It is possible there will be more attempts," admitted Sir Ian Blair, commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. "It is our job to stop them in every way we possibly can. It is more likely now than it was before."
Police said El Nashar, who denied any involvement in the bombings, left England shortly after he rented the house in Leeds, where they discovered a so-called bomb factory. Neighbors in the Cairo suburb told ABC News he arrived there about 10 days before the bombings. They also said they had trouble believing El Nashar could have participated in the attacks.
Now the search continues for another man, whom police believe to be the al Qaeda mastermind of the plot. Authorities said he was on a secondary watch list and believe he crossed the channel by ferry last month in order to elude detection. Hours after the attacks, the man left again by ferry and is thought to be returning to Pakistan, where al Qaeda is known to have bases.

'Islamic Centers' are 'non-profit', 'tax free' mosques & breeding grounds for legions of robotic, radicalized Muslim 'homicide' bombers', i.e., the enemy within.
Well sure, why not? It's a one big happy muzzie family. They fly in and out of our countries at will and no one stops them.
Do you think our Visa program needs another look? Do we really need Egyptian Muslim engineering students here?
If France shuts its borders with the EU why aren't we?
ABC went on and on about how the "chemist was trained in America".
One semester at NCS.
For you MN Swedes, that would be NC State.
OK, North Carolina State.....University.
Here's the deal,people.....
It really doesn't matter where our ememies go to school.
They are VERY patient.
They lie in wait, until their number is called.
Keep an eye out....

Because we are a PC nation of fools..The Dems will have us all die as long as they can slander Bush..THATS why nothing gets done around here..Speaking of Bush ,i'm begining to dislike his wimp attitude more and more these days..What the hell happened to him ? I though WE WON..didn't we? He and all the rest of the Republicans act like loosers..This country better get tough real fast or we're going to get hit again REAL BAD..I promise you that much..
our Visa program needs another look
thats putting it mildly buddy ..We need to close this place until further notice..THEN , find out who the hell is really in this country ..ANYONE , and I mean ANYONE can come here..walk right in if you know what you're doing.If a Mexican with 2 cents to him name can get here, imagine a terrorist with a few 100 thousand in cash to work with .
Ever since the picture of Pres Bush holding Saudi Abdullahs hand, I've been mad.
Michelle Malkin had it right. Should have been done right after 9/11.
I always suspected that the White Sox were evil...
If he refuses to close our borders he's goning to have the deaths of many Americans on his hands .We WILL be hit again
Yep...now 9/11 is just a bad dream , not even real to most anymore.I watched it live in my classroom , right outside my window.A room full of scared sh*t kids and one kid who's mom was in there..I REMEMBER IT ANS I REMEMBER WHO DID IT TOO>
NY or DC?
"London Bombers Have Ties to United States"
Should read:
"London Bombers have ties to American Community of the 'Peaceful Religion'".
NYC..The Twin Towers were in plain view right outside my classroom window.Horrible horrible day .
Cub fans would more than agree!lol
Why don't these people ever shave? Unless, I guess, that they invite 72 virgin boys to partake of their mouths.
I firmly believe the entire Visa program requires a double look.
In terms of France, closing their borders, it's far more then we have done, but with one of the largest Muslim populations in the E,U., in part extending back to the old French colonial period , the fox is already among the chickens, and awaits further orders for jihad terrorism.
How many more 'Atta' 9-11's will it take before our government takes the necessary steps to protect the American people from the enemy within.?
The public wants preventive action but the government is foot dragging.
I am/was in NYC as well though uptown. The London footage brought it back. Friends died in there.
