London Terrorist Attack News Stories & Columns, July 12 (CRITICAL UPDATES)By Andrew Cochran
(NOTE: I edited this paragraph at 4 pm Eastern time for changed or inoperative links since last update.) Scotland Yard press conference: Transcript posted on London TimesOnline website - Warrants executed today in search for info on 4 men who lived in west Yorkshire area - all 4 arrived in London July 7 by train - SY found docs of at least 3 close to explosion scenes, with one near bus - at least one "very likely" died - "material" found in house search - car found in Luten suspected of connection - one man arrested in west Yorkshire - Steven Emerson on Fox News: British hadn't shared info with U.S. agents before today - this was obviously sophisticated homegrown plot with "handler" - this is the "nightmare scenario" of suicide bombers in Western countries - UK will need some type of "Patriot Act" that enhances current "Terrorism Act" powers - NBC News, which earlier cited "a senior U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity" for assertion that British authorities believe the four carried out a suicide mission, changed their story this afternoon to refer to bombers as "possibly suicide bombers" - here is AP story on case and BBC's report on a Leed's resident's account of the raids there and report "police have carried out five controlled explosions after explosives were found in a car at Luton train station thought to be connected to the London attacks." Sky News: "Highly likely" that one attacker died in bombings and "senior anti-terror police were working on the assumption the men were suicide bombers and had died in the explosions - and were probably British nationals" - and "explosives have been found in an abandoned car at Luton railway station which is thought to be linked to the terror attacks." - Fox News report: "The latest development backs the theory that the attacks were carried out by homicide bombers." - CNN on police raids and theories - also London Times on Leeds police raids
Terror police raid five homes in hunt for London bombers Terrorist gang 'used military explosives' - "A single bombmaker using high-grade military explosives is believed to be responsible for building the four devices that killed more than 50 people last week...The confirmed death toll stands at 52 but is expected to rise. Police family liaison officers have been assigned to 74 families." London, Tel Aviv blasts connected - German paper cited: "Mossad officials informed British security authorities that the explosive material used in the Tel Aviv attack on Mikes Place pub (in April 2003) was apparently also utilized to stage the series of bombings in London on Thursday." Islamist cleric declared war on Britain six months ago - "The London bombings occurred exactly six months after an extremist cleric based in the capital declared that Islam was at war with Britain. Investigators are examining their limited records on the followers of Omar Bakri Mohammed to determine if any have been recently recruited into an active terror cell." Director of London's Al-Maqreze Centre for Historical Studies Hani Sibai: There are No "Civilians" in Islamic Law;The Bombing is a Great Victory for Al-Qa'ida, Which "Rubbed the Noses of the World's 8 Most Powerful Countries in the Mud" - Excerpts from interviews with Dr. Hani Al-Siba'i aired on July 8 and February 22, 2005 BBC edits out the word terrorist - Note to BBC: You can't defeat the enemy if you can't identify him Weak Brits, Tough French - Daniel Pipes column with sad truth about UK in terror war: "Counterterrorism specialists disdain the British."
