Attacks were suicide bombings official says { July 13 2005 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/13/international/13cnd-bombings.html http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/13/international/13cnd-bombings.html July 13, 2005 London Attacks Were Suicide Bombings, British Official Says By ALAN COWELL LONDON, July 13 -- British Home Secretary Charles Clarke gave the first official indication today that authorities believe all four men implicated in last week's terrorist bombings were suicide bombers who had "blown themselves up" during the attack. Mr. Clarke did not use the phrase "suicide bombing," but said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation that European nations had to defend their values of society "against those who would destroy it." "That means standing out against, in a very strong way, anybody who preaches the kind of fundamentalism, as I say, that can lead four young men to blow themselves and others up on the tube on a Thursday morning," he said. On July 7, four bombs tore through three subway trains and a double decker bus, killing at least 52 people in an attack that stunned the nation. On Tuesday, police in the northern city of Leeds raided six homes and arrested one man believed to be a relative of one of four suspected attackers. The police also carried out controlled blasts on explosives recovered from an abandoned car at Luton, just north of London. Police believe at least one of the bombers died in the attacks, and said that property belonging to four men had been found at the scenes of eachexplosion. Sky News reported today that police had identified all four attackers, who Mr. Clarke referred to as "foot soldiers." "We have got to root out those elements from within our community that want to destroy it," Mr. Clarke said during the BBC interview. "That puts different burdens on all of us." The bombings and the likely response have raised new fears about the future of civil liberties in an era of heightened concerns about the most basic security of a capital where three million people ride the subway every day. "We have to understand that these foot soldiers who have done this are only one element of an organization that is bringing about this kind of mayhem in our society," Mr. Clarke said. "And we have to attack the people who are driving it, organizing it, manipulating those people," he said. Copyright 2005 The New York Times Company
