Bombing Attempt Suspect Arrested in London 


By ED JOHNSON, Associated Press WriterTue Dec 20, 8:46 PM ET 

British anti-terrorist police Tuesday arrested a suspect in the attempted
bombings of London's transit system on July 21, officials said.

The man was arrested at Gatwick Airport as he got off a flight from Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia, London's Metropolitan Police said.

They said the 23-year-old man, who was not further identified, was suspected
of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism and was
undergoing questioning at central London's high security Paddington Green
police station.

Scotland Yard police headquarters said he had been out of Britain since
June. The alleged role played by the man was not immediately clear.

A total of 15 people have been charged in connection with the July 21 plot
against three subway trains and on a double-decker bus. The attempted
attacks did not kill anyone as the bombs failed to detonate, but they shook
Britain's capital two weeks after near identical suicide bombings killed 52
commuters.

The man, from the Tottenham area of north London, was arrested by officers
from Scotland Yard's Anti-Terrorist Branch shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday.

The Metropolitan Police said it was a low key operation in which officers
were not armed. The force said the team waited until the man had left the
plane and was inside the terminal building before making the arrest.

He was the 43rd person to be detained in connection with the July 21 plot.
Most have been released without charge.

Five men are accused of plotting to murder passengers on London's transit
system on July 21 and face trial in September.  are accused to trying to
bomb three subway trains and a bus. The fifth suspect, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu,
32, was arrested after a backpack of explosives was found in a raid. All
face a charge of conspiracy to murder.

One of the five, Ethiopian-born Hussein Osman, 27, fled to Italy after the
attacks and was extradited back to Britain. Osman has said through his
lawyer that the bombing attempt was meant to scare people, not kill them.

A further 10 people have been charged in connection with the attempted
attacks - for failing to disclose information about the suspects and helping
them evade arrest. They include Osman's wife Yeshiemebet Girma, 29, her
younger sister Mulumebet Girma, 21 and their brother Essayas Girma, 20.
