Suspects 'lived in UK for 10 years' Jul 26 2005 Both named men being hunted by police for the July 21 attempted bombings arrived in Britain alongside asylum seekers when they were children, the Home Office revealed. The pair have been legally resident in the UK for more than 10 years and one was awarded a British passport just last September. They were not asylum seekers themselves but arrived in Britain as dependants of principal asylum claimants, a Home Office spokeswoman said. Terror suspect Yasin Hussan Omar is a Somalian national who arrived in Britain aged 11 in 1992 as a dependant and was granted exceptional leave to remain in the country. In May 2000 he was granted indefinite leave to remain. Muktar Said-Ibrahim, also known as Muktar Mohammed-Said, is a naturalised British citizen, said the Home Office spokeswoman. He arrived in Britain from Eritrea as a dependant in 1992, aged 14. Said-Ibrahim was granted exceptional leave to remain, she said. In November 2003 he applied for naturalisation as a British citizen and was issued with his British passport in September last year, she added. Omar has been handed thousands of pounds in taxpayers' money in recent years. He was given £75 a week in housing benefit to pay for the one-bedroom flat where he has been the registered tenant since February 1999. His housing benefit stopped in May this year but he may have been given up to £24,000 over the last six years. The flat, on the ninth floor of a 12-storey tower block in New Southgate, north London, is believed to have been used as a bomb factory by the suicide team who unsuccessfully targeted the London transport network last Thursday. Explosives experts were examining material found inside. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
