Freed Egypt biochemist knew two London bombers
Tue Aug 9, 2005 5:51 PM GMT
CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian biochemist released on Tuesday after being
questioned over July bombings in London said he knew two of the bombers and
allowed one to stay at his British flat, but said he was wrongly suspected
of involvement.
An Egyptian security source earlier on Tuesday said Magdy Elnashar had been
released after investigations proved he was not linked to the July 7
bombings.
Elnashar said he had returned to Egypt for a six-week holiday when he was
detained last month in connection with the attacks that killed 52 people and
the four bombers. He told reporters at his south Cairo home that he intended
to return to England.
"I knew two of the accused in the London bombings," Elnashar said.
Three of the four bombers were British Muslims of Pakistani descent and one
was a Jamaican-born Briton.
Elnashar said he knew Hasib Hussain, 18, and the Jamaican-born man named as
Lindsey Germail or Lindsey Germaine in British and U.S. reports. Elnasher
referred to him as Jamal, his Muslim name.
"Jamal was very quiet and entered into Islam two months before the
bombings," Elnashar said.
"I met Jamal and he asked me for the key to my flat. He said he wanted to
stay there for a short time and I agreed," he said.
British police had searched Elnashar's rented flat in the northern town of
Leeds in connection with the bombings. Three of the four bombers were from
the same area.
"The reason for suspecting me was because I specialise in chemistry. I am
completely innocent," he said, adding that he planned legal action against
British media that he said had defamed him. He did not identify the media.
Elnashar, who said he was well treated by Egyptian security during the
investigation, said he wanted to return to Britain, where he obtained a
doctorate earlier this year.
"I hope to return to London to continue my career but I don't know if this
will happen soon," he said.
