More attacks feared in London

Published August 1, 2005

LONDON, July 31: British police were questioning 11 suspects on Sunday in their investigation into failed bomb attacks on London’s transport system as Italian authorities worked on extradition proceedings for a further suspect.

Police believe they have captured all four men they were hunting over the July 21 botched bombings on three underground trains and a bus, which came exactly two weeks after four bombers killed themselves and 52 people in similar attacks.

After an manhunt for suspected militants which culminated in a swoop on a housing estate in London on Friday, three of the men are in custody in Britain and the fourth in Rome.—Reuters
