The teenager arrested on suspicion of planting a bomb on the Tube is reportedly an Iraqi orphan who moved over to the UK as a refugee three years ago, a community leader said today.
The 18-year-old was detained by police on Saturday morning in connection with the terror attack, which saw 30 people injured when a home-made bomb was detonated on a packed carriage.
Following the arrest, police raided a house in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey - home to foster care couple Penelope and Ronald Jones who have reportedly taken in refugee children in the past.
Leader of Spelthorne Borough Council Ian Harvey, whose ward is Sunbury East, said he had learnt about the boy's background from neighbours of the Joneses and publicly available information.
He told the Press Association: "One thing I understand is that he was an Iraqi refugee who came here aged 15 - his parents died in Iraq." The Standard put the claims to the Met police– leading the instigation – but a spokesman could not confirm or deny the reports.
He said the force “would not comment on any details surrounding the suspect’s identity”.

Who wouldda thunk it?
If he is only 18, why does he have 40 year old teeth? Sar
One of those amazingly awesome refugees we keep on hearing about. So full of love, love in blowing up things of course
Hmm... What mosque was he attending? Investigate the mosque and you may find more like him.
It’ll take about a month, but they will end up with medical tests to establish that he’s a minimum of 20 years old. The whole story that he made up? Fake.
You see this a lot in Europe.
That kid on murder charges down in Bavaria? He claimed he was 15...that’s been proven to be totally false.
This is a total surprise, I thought it would have been a Mennonite or an Amish person.
You forgot the Huguenots. Don't turn your back on them.
They all misspelled “refuse.”
Wait a minute. We Persons of Huguenot-ishness resent that.
ISLAM.
Huguenot ping
All that says is: I welcome my new muslim overlords.
What a bunch of pathetic fatalists, and it only took 1400 years for the muslim hoards to conquer europe.
Another reason why the US needs to pull out of NATO, and tell the UN to FOAD.
I hope you don't tell the TSA screeners at the airport that. Hoo boy.
“teen” “teenager”
Words chosen to say “child” so we feel sorry for the subhuman savage. I don’t.
Wow, I am so surprised. /s
Thanks,
