MANHUNT
Faces of 'bombers' released Arrests in London/Midlands Tube shooting victim linked by Grant Woodward THE hunt was on today for the four failed London suicide bombers.
Pictures of the suspects were released by police as it emerged the man shot dead by officers yesterday was not one of the bombers.
He was gunned down as he fled 20 plainclothes police officers who feared he was about to detonate a bomb on the Tube.
The killing – the first time a suspected suicide bomber has ever been shot by British police – was followed by a series of raids on addresses across London.
An African man, aged about 30, was held in Stockwell, South London, close to the scene of yesterday's shooting.
Another man was seized in Birmingham.
The four men caught on CCTV cameras are believed to have detonated rucksack blasts at three tube stations and a bus in attacks which copied those of July 7.
Bath
Incredibly, all the devices failed to ignite their charges and no one was hurt.
As reported in yesterday's YEP, police believe the explosives may have come from the same batch used for the 7/7 attacks, which was made in a bath in Alexandra Grove, Hyde Park, Leeds.
Shehzad Tanweer and Hasib Hussain, from Beeston, Mohammad Sidique Khan, from Dewsbury, and Germaine Lindsay, from Huddersfield, carried out the suicide attacks which killed 56 people and wounded 700.
An al-Qaeda-linked terror group yesterday claimed responsibility for both the London bomb waves.
The Abu Hafs al Masri Brigades also delivered a grim warning that the attacks would not stop until troops were pulled out of Iraq.
It read: "Our only message to other European governments is that we will not relent and sit idle before the infidel soldiers leave the land of the two rivers."
West Yorkshire Police said they had released a 29-year-old man without charge after he was arrested in the wake of the July 7 bombings.
The man was arrested by police on July 12, following a series of raids in Leeds and taken to London for questioning by the anti-terrorist branch.
Detectives were today hoping for a massive public response to the release of the CCTV images of the would-be bombers.
