Here's good news from Great Britain: a would-be suicide bomber bas been captured and can now be interrogated.
Anti-terrorist officers believe that a man arrested in Birmingham today is one of the would-be suicide bombers who tried to attack the London transport network last week.A witness said that the arrested man looked like Yasin Hassan Omar, 24, who has been named by Scotland Yard as the man who tried to explode a bomb on the Victoria Line Tube line last week.
The man was felled with a Taser stun gun after a scuffle with police officers who raided a house in Heybarnes Road in the Hay Mills area of Birmingham at 4.30am.
Police found a suspect package and more than 100 nearby homes were then evacuated on Army advice as the bomb squad moved in.
The suspect was taken to Paddington Green high security police station in Central London for questioning. Shortly after his arrest, three other men were held in a raid two miles away in Bankdale Road in the Washwood Heath area of Birmingham. The three are being held in Birmingham.
The arrests are thought to be of major significance in the hunt for the bombers. Detectives fear they may still be in possession of explosives after reports that on the day after the failed July 21 attacks they returned to the tower block flat rented by Omar that they had used as a bomb factory in New Southgate, North London.
