Muslims reflect on London bombings
(China Daily)

News reports that cited unidentified officials reported that the attacks were
connected to an al-Qaida plot planned two years ago in Lahore, Pakistan. Names
on a computer that authorities seized last year from Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan,
an alleged Pakistani computer expert for al-Qaida, matched a suspected cell of
young Britons of Pakistani origin, most of whom lived near Luton, where the
alleged suicide bombers met up on their way to London shortly before last week's
blasts, according to the report.
Authorities have now discovered ties between Mohammed Sidique Khan one of the
July 7 bombers and members of that cell who were arrested last year, ABC said.
FBI agents in Raleigh, North Carolina, joined the search for the chemist,
Magdy Asi el-Nashar, a 33-year-old former North Carolina State University
graduate student. The doors were locked on Thursday at the building at Leeds
University where he recently taught chemistry.
And in a further international development in the inquiry, Jamaica's
government said it was investigating a Jamaican-born Briton as one of the
bombers.
Trafalgar is about two kilometres from Tavistock Square, where Hasib Hussain,
18, allegedly set off the bomb that killed 14 people aboard the bus. That blast
occurred nearly an hour after three London Underground trains blew up, and
investigators do not yet know what Hussain did during that hour or when he
boarded the bus.
Trying to map out Hussain's movements, police appealed for information from
anyone who may have seen him in or around King's Cross station, where the four
suspects parted ways.
They released a closed-circuit television image showing
him wearing a large camping-style backpack as he strode through a train station
in Luton, outside London, about two and a half hours before he allegedly blew up
the No 30 bus. He had a mustache and wore jeans, a white shirt, and a dark
zip-up top or jacket.
