UK police detain second blast suspect
2005-07-23
A second man has been arrested in connection with the investigation into Thursday's attempted London bombings, the city's Metropolitan Police says. A police spokesman said the man was arrested in Stockwell, the south London neighbourhood where another suspect was detained on Friday and another man was shot dead by police in an underground station. The first suspect, who has not been named, was being questioned at a high-security London police station.
"Percy, hand me the vise grips, would you?"
Police said the second arrest occurred late on Friday and was "in connection with our inquiries" into Thursday's attacks. A huge manhunt has been mounted for the attackers who tried to bomb three underground trains and a bus, two weeks after similar bombings killed 52 people and four bombers. The bombs in the latest attacks failed to detonate fully, and no one was injured. On Friday, police released closed-circuit TV images of four suspected attackers and appealed to the public for information.

#6  An electrician. Was in a house under surveillance. None of the bombs worked.

I need more dots.

#5  Evidently, he was an electrician who was a Brazilian national on his way to work. I cannot fathom why he ran.

#4  "For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets." The death of this person is probably unfortunate - what happened on 7/7 was a tragedy. I await details of his life before determining just how unfortunate the passing of this innocent commuter truly is.

#3   Shot man not connected to bombing

Scotland Yard statement reads:

"We believe we now know the identity of the man shot at Stockwell Underground station by police on Friday 22nd July 2005, although he is still subject to formal identification.

"We are now satisfied that he was not connected with the incidents of Thursday 21st July 2005.

"For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets."

#2  They should waterboard his ass, that seem to make em
sing like birds. Probably too similar to bathing to be tollerable to them.
