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”.

Could be that he was never taught to take care of his teeth. The muslims don’t strike me as very fastidious in their personal hygiene.

Current events say otherwise.
If you’re in the UK right now, what you just posted can land your ass in prison.
So go ahead, go seek out that muslim POS mayor of london, and tell him what you really think about his goat humping headchopping child raping infidel enslaving “religion”.
You’ll be thrown into a limey prison so fast you won’t know what hit you.
It’s infuriating, but not surprising, that the Daily Mail is not allowing comments on ANY of these articles that report this terrorist is a Refugee. They are usually very open on comments, and mildly censored, so it must have gotten very ugly very fast. I noticed before the censoring and lock that people were saying in vast numbers that, yet again, Trump was right.
Now that I think about it, they must get really ticked that Americans anonymously and boisterously speak their mind on the topic, while UK citizens are in fear of being jailed and fined for speaking out. They probably locked the comments thinking they were saving some fellow citizens from jail.

"Native" Brits will simply have to get used to it - stiff upper lip and all that bosh, Old Boy!
I bet they get good money from the government for taking in these refugee ‘children’.
A lot of people don’t know the pic is going to post huge and don’t know about tiny pic either (like me). I would not assume that people are doing this on purpose.
That’s not significant or particular to this case. The British media always stop online comments once an arrest has been made of an individual suspect, whatever the crime. That’s because the rules on contempt of court and jury prejudice are tight in the UK - if comments were allowed defence lawyers can use them to claim the impossibility of a fair trial. It’s simply standard UK media practice.
Yes, that was an absurd slur on an elderly British couple who for decades have been contracted to their local council’s Social Services department to foster any homeless child who is sent to them, however difficult that child may be. Indeed they’ve been given the MBE (a civic award) for the number of such children they’ve looked after over all those years. In its way, that’s a pretty heroic record.
