2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, August 1, 2005 LOVE AND GRAFFITI London terrorists caught LONDON - Police interrogated suspects Saturday in the botched transit attacks and sought the extradi- tion of another alleged bomber from Italy. As they hunted for accomplic- es possibly still at large, authorities warned Londoners not to let down their guard against terrorism. The four arrests Friday in dramat- ic raids in London and Rome helped ease the fears of a city on edge since four suicide bombers killed 52 peo- ple on subways and a double-decker bus July 7. The bombing attempts July 21 took no lives but further rat- tled nerves. "Britain fights back as our brave police catch all the cowardly suicide bombers," the Daily Express tabloid exulted in a headline. "Caught Like Rats in a Trap" said The Sun newspaper, alongside a photo of two bare-chested suspects with their hands in the air. With all those suspected of carry- ing out the two sets of attacks believed dead or in custody, investigators were working to unravel the strands of the two plots. Police were. searching for those who may have recruited and directed the bombers, while also seeking links between the terror cells, one believed to be made up mostly of Pakistani Britons, the other mainly of East African immigrants to London. The Sunday Times reported that investigators believed a third terror cell was still at large. In Rome, a lawyer for jailed sus- pect Osman Hussain suggested Hus- sain would fight British extradition efforts, a process that could take several months. Hussain, an Ethiopian-born Brit- ish citizen, is suspected of trying to bomb the Shepherd's Bush subway station in west London on July 21. He reportedly told investigators the bombers were motivated by anger over the Iraq war. A legal expert familiar with the investi- gation told The Associated Press in Rome that Hussain had admitted to a role in the attack but said it was only intended to be an attention-grabbing strike. Hussain told interrogators he was not carrying enough explosives even to "harm people nearby," the expert said, speaking on condition of anonymity because Italian law requires that the ongoing investigation remain secret. Without identifying sources, Italian newspapers gave differing accounts of what Hussain told investigators. Milan's Corriere della Sera report- ed that he first told authorities he did not know what was in the backpack he carried onto the Underground, then said he was told the bomb- ers were only supposed to carry out "demonstrative" attacks. The Rome daily II Messaggero said the suspect told investigators, "We were supposed to blow our- selves up." Hussain also said the bombers had been led by a man called "Muktar," apparently Muktar Said Ibrahim, one of the suspects captured Friday in London, the Rome daily La Repubblica reported. "Muktar showed us videos with images of the war in Iraq," Hussain said, according to Italian newspapers. Hussain was arrested Friday at an apartment on the outskirts of Rome after police traced him through his use of a relative's cell phone. His lawyer, Antonietta Sonnessa, said no charges had been filed. British police, meanwhile, faced questions about how Hussain eluded a manhunt to slip out of the country. Italy's Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu said he left London's Water- loo station by train July 26, five days after the bombings. Police had released closed-circuit tele- vision images of the bombing suspects shortly after the attacks, but the picture of Hussain was grainy and difficult to see. A day after his escape, Metropolitan Police put out a clearer image of him on a bus, wearing a white undershirt. British police are holding 11 suspects in the attacks but have given few details about those other than the alleged bomb- ers. Two detainees are womenarrestedon suspicion of harboring offenders, report- edly Hussain's partner and her mother. Ibrahi the suspect reportedly named by Hussain, is suspected of planting explosives on a bus in east London. Also known as Muktar Mohammed Said, he is a British citizen who emi- grated from Eritrea in 1990. The second man, who identified himself as Ramzi Mohammed, is sus- pected of trying to blow up a train at the Oval station.
