Seems like the British police are closing the ring on at least some of the perpetrators of last weeks tragic terrorist attacks in London last week. From AP:
Leeds, England: New evidence suggests that last week's terror attacks were carried out by four suicide bombers of Pakistani origin who were videotaped by surveillance cameras arriving in London from this northern city just 20 minutes before the explosions, officials said Tuesday.
Police carried out raids on six homes in Leeds searching for explosives and computer files that would shed more light on what is believed to be the first suicide bombing in Western Europe. They arrested a man, identified by the British news agency Press Association as a relative of one of the suspected bombers.
A town councilor told The Associated Press that at least three of the presumed suicide bombers were British citizens of Pakistani ancestry.
One bomber was thought to be Shahzad Tanweer, a 22-year-old cricket-loving sports science graduate, and another was a teenager, Press Association reported.
Press Association said the men had driven a rental car to Luton, 30 miles north of London, and then boarded a commuter train to London's King's Cross station. Police closed Luton's train station and were searching a car they suspected was linked to the attacks.
Closed-circuit TV video showed all four men arriving at King's Cross by 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, about 20 minutes before the blasts began, Peter Clarke, head of the Metropolitan Police anti-terrorist branch, told a Scotland Yard news conference.
