 A British Muslim arrested in Pakistan denied on Wednesday any involvement in the July 7 suicide bombings on Londonâs transport network, reports Reuters.
In a letter to British newspaper Daily Telegraph, Zeeshan Siddiqui rejected reports he had met senior Al Qaeda leaders and one of the London bombers, Shehzad Tanweer.
Siddiqui had been arrested as a possible so-called âmissing linkâ to the four bombers who killed 52 commuters on three London underground trains and a bus, the Telegraph reported. âI condemn these acts of violence,â Siddiqui wrote. âI have never taken part in any terrorist activity, nor do I support or ever intend to support any terrorist activities.â
| "Really. Trust me on this!" |
The Telegraph said that 25 year-old Siddiqui had only been charged with forgery and offences related to overstaying his entry visa by Pakistani authorities. Magistrates in Peshawar had granted Siddiqui bail on September 15, but he remained in jail after failing to give copies of travel documents he says he has lost, said the newspaper.
