| 2007-03-22 |
| Two men, aged 23 and 30, were held at Manchester airport in northern England shortly before 1 p.m. GMT on Thursday as they were due to catch a flight to Pakistan, New Scotland Yard said. A third man, aged 26, was arrested hours later at a house in the nearby city of Leeds. Police were searching five addresses in the Leeds area as well as a flat and business premises in east London, the statement said. "The three men were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000," it read. Fifty-two people -- as well as the four bombers -- died and more than 700 were injured in the 2005 bombings aboard three London Underground trains and a bus during morning rush hour. Three of the bombers -- Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, Shehzad Tanweer, 22, and Hasib Hussain, 18 -- came from the Tipton area of Leeds. The fourth, Jamaican-born Jermaine Lindsay, 19, was raised in southern England. |
