Five of the suspected London terrorists are still at large and are being urgently hunted, according to U.S. sources who have been briefed on the airplane bombing plot. 
Officials tell ABC News 24 people now have been taken into custody. Twenty-two are believed to be of Pakistani descent. One is Bangladeshi, and another is of Iranian descent, according to the officials. 
One of the arrests was made in the northeastern London suburb of Walthamstow. Residents said police took away a man in his late 20s at 2 a.m. today. The neighbors said the man was British-born, with one parent who is Iranian and had recently become very religious.

    No offense, but if Brian Ross says it, it's more than likely false.

    And I thought they were all "British born Asians", per the news. 
 
Gotta watch out for those Mongolian and Nepalese terrorists...

    Then declare no one moves in London until they're found, and seal off Pakistani neighborhoods until they're turned in.

    The neighbors said the man was British-born, with one parent who is Iranian and had recently become very religious. Why is it when Christians becomes "very religious" they do stuff like become a minister, go on a medical mission, evangelize and the like, but when a Muslim becomes "very religious" he wants to kill people? Just asking.

    And this is Bush's fault because we didn't get them all in one operation.

    Twenty-two are believed to be of Pakistani descent. One is Bangladeshi, and another is of Iranian descent,As someone pointed out on another thread yesterday...It would be most interesting to know the backgrounds of the people who recruited these terrorists.
