Ninth Moslem Arrested in Plot to Explode Bomb in London
A ninth British suspect was arrested yesterday over the plot by Islamic fanatics to explode a massive lorry bomb. The 27-year-old UK-born Asian Muslim was seized at the terraced home in Crawley, Sussex, he shares with his wife, parents and younger brother. A neighbour said he was a graduate who works in computers. His wife is thought to be eight months pregnant. .... Police taped up the gate at his home last night and uniformed officers stood guard as detectives went in and out of the property. But neighbours claimed the latest suspect was âa really nice blokeâ who was not a fanatic. One insisted: âHeâs got nothing to do with it â he couldnât let off a banger.â .... The ninth man was taken to top-security Paddington Green police station, where the other suspects are detained.
