SECURITY chiefs were jubilant last night after police and SAS troops combined brilliantly to corner 21/7 bombing suspects like rats in a trap.
A day of drama ended with ALL five men wanted over last week’s botched London suicide attacks in custody.
Muktar Mohammed-Said, 27, thought to have attempted to blow himself up on a No26 bus, was arrested after a siege at a West London flat.
A man wanted over the Oval Tube attack, named last night as Ramzi Mohammed, was held at the same address.
In another raid less than a mile away, a suspected terrorist said to have dumped a rucksack bomb after 21/7 was nicked.
He was named as Ramzi’s 22-year-old brother Wahbi.
And in Rome, police arrested Hussain Osman, 27 — alleged to have been the Shepherd’s Bush bomber.
The other alleged gang member, Yassin Hassan Omar, 24, was seized in Birmingham on Wednesday over the Warren Street Tube attack.
Sources said both Ramzi and Osman were Somalis who came to the UK with their families and later claimed British citizenship.
Said and Omar were also East Africans who had become British nationals.
Said and the Oval suspect gave themselves up after a tense stand-off at Dalgarno Gardens on the Peabody Estate in Notting Hill, West London.
SAS troops blew the front door off its hinges with a small specially-designed explosive charge.

Saddam was involved in a fist fight according to Fox News
These guys are not so tough when they are not killing unarmed civilians...a tough Israeli general was asked how are you so successful in battle...he answered I fight Arabs. Islamacists murder innocent women and children but are really cowards at heart.
Pray for W and Our Troops
>Great news. Now, what are they going to do with them?<
How about: cut off ears, cut off heads, tape wires from portable telephones to their genitals and turn on the power, cut off limbs, blow up bodies, randomly shoot, raze villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis (pronounced Jinjis) Khan, shoot cattle and dogs for fun, poison food stocks, and generally ravage the countryside.
I seem to have heard this before, so it might not be very original.
I think I like your parachute option
Give them a ten second head start and let them make a run for it. I like the way the UK terminates their chases and chasees.
First off, I am not an expert on Islam so I am not prepared to argue the Islamic faith is good or bad one way or another based on what the Quran teaches. However, I have spent a great deal of time in the Middle East and have been acquainted with many muslim families. I have never heard one of them ever suggest that the terrorism being done under the banner of the faith is in anyway justified. All of them tend to be the most gracious hosts you could ever imagine, sharing anything that is theirs with a guest, and available to lend help when help is needed, with no debt owed. They place a huge premium on family and morality and for the most part lived their philosophy. Charity is huge part of the religious faith and done with absolutely no sense that it should ever be talked about or be an element of pride. The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists and do not support violence.
There are elements within the Muslim faith who have totally corrupted the faith by using it as an excuse to butcher thousands of people. Jim Jones did the same thing with Christianity, and the KKK used religion as a basis for their savagery. I don't recall anyone presuming this was anything but an aberration. My only argument with the Muslim faith is they are not doing enough to condemn the radical muslims or clean up their own house. You know, it's going to be Muslims who finally make the biggest sacrifices to clean up the mess in Iraq, and it is Muslims who are being butchered by other Muslims in Iraq (Sunni VS Shiite).
I don't know what the statistics are but I would guess that the actual number of Muslims who participate directly in acts of terror is probably about 1 percent. My own view is that as the Middle East continues to pay a huge price for the actions of that 1 percent they will begin to turn against against them. From my perspective that is what the war in Iraq is fundamentally about: creating a free and independent Iraq, where self rule and some form of Democracy can set the tone for the Middle East and give people in Syria, Iran, Egypt, and countless other countries hope for the future.
Right now, there is a growing movement in Iran that is very pro US and wants to get rid rule by theocracy. We need to feed that movement and give those who want freedom moral and even material support. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, animals like Zarqawi and UBL would love more than for us to destroy Mecca since it would play right into their propaganda that America is simply out to destroy the Islamic faith. You would turn every Muslim into an enemy in a matter of seconds. Do you think for one minute destroying Mecca would turn Muslims into cowering sheep? I would suggest that before you ever considered destroying Mecca you would have to evacuate every American from every Muslim country in the world or you would have a bloodbath. Furthermore, countries like Jordan who support us in many ways would suddenly become our bitter enemy.
There is no magic bullet for winning the war on terror and I suppose in 20 years we will look back and realize there were things we could have done to shorten it, and things we did that had results far beyond our expectations. Destroying religious shrines should not be one of those.
end soapbox
I guess it's ok to kill others, but they don't want to get hurt in the process.
Wish they'd hang them.
Thats all fine and dandy but their Koran still clearly promotes violence toward non muslims. I've also had experiences with muslims where I initially thought they were ok people later to find out once I got to know them that those same people hated the USA and everything it stood for. Don't get suckered in by "nice muslims" they are what they are.
Yeah, they are all the same. I forgot that part about Muslims. I'll try not to get suckered by people I spent well over two years socializing with.
Some news broadcasts (notably from Sky News) had audio of their whining. As many have pointed out, they're basically cowards at heart. One of these swine actually tried to detonate his faulty bomb next to a woman carrying a little baby. That's their prey--not the military (after all, they can fight back and probably kick their b*tts), but women, babies and little children.
Yeah, as long as they're the ones doing it. When it's the US, of course, that's different.
Not high enough
Took me over three years before they revealed their true feelings and it wasn't over alcohol either because these muslims didn't drink.
When it comes to hooking up any electrical device to the scrotums (scroti?) of terrorists, I've only got two things to say -- red is the positive, black is the negative.
I bet it smells mighty good in there......
The vast majority of Muslims don't seem to support an end to the violence either. Remember the "Arab Street" after 9/11?
Short of us nuking them into oblivion, the war on terror will never end until the Muslim community as a whole stands up and ends the terrorism from within. I don't see the vaguest hint of that happening.
with some rotting hogs as well
I've heard it said, perhaps only partially in jest, that a Muslim will give you the shirt off his back. But if you don't put it on right away, he will kill you and everyone else in your family to avenge the insult.
