Last suspects in failed bombings nabbed
One man arrested in the apartment complex near Dalgarno Gardens street identified himself as Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, Clarke said. Police believe he planted explosives on the No. 26 bus in Hackney, east London. Ibrahim, also known as Muktar Mohammed Said, immigrated from Eritrea in 1990 and became a British citizen in 2004. The second man arrested at the complex identified himself as Ramzi Mohammed, Clarke said, and police accuse him of carrying explosives into the Oval Tube station. He was shown on closed-circuit footage wearing a "New York" sweatshirt. On Wednesday, police in Birmingham arrested Omar, a Somali citizen with British residency who is suspected of trying to blow up the Warren Street subway station. A third man was arrested at the Tavistock Crescent apartment complex, also on the outskirts of Notting Hill. Police would not release any details about him except to say he was not seen in the closed-circuit TV images. Investigators speculated a fifth bomber was involved after finding an unexploded bomb in a park near where Friday's raids occurred. A fourth man — identified as Somali-born Briton Osman Hussain — was arrested in Rome, Italian authorities said. Hussain is accused of planning to plant a bomb at Shepherd's Bush Underground station in west London. He was seen on closed-circuit television carrying a backpack. Clarke said Britain will ask Italy to extradite him. London police told Italian officials a call intercepted at one of the botched bombing sites came from a cell phone that belonged to someone in Rome, RAI state TV reported. Two days ago, the cell phone moved from London to Paris, then Milan, then to the apartment in Rome, RAI said. Cellular phones tied to a regular account are easier to trace than calls made
from cell phones using anonymous prepaid cards.
