Bombers tricked into triggering their bombs { July 18 2005 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://canberra.yourguide.com.au/detail.asp?class=news&subclass=international&category=general%20news&story_id=409269&y=2005&m=7 http://canberra.yourguide.com.au/detail.asp?class=news&subclass=international&category=general%20news&story_id=409269&y=2005&m=7 UK bombers 'tricked' - All four paid for return train tickets Monday, 18 July 2005 British police are considering the possibility that the four key suspects in the London terrorist attacks may have been tricked into triggering their bombs. The theory comes as Scotland Yard issued chilling new images of the four terrorists setting off on their fatal journey from Luton station. Police believe the bombers may have been tricked by a "master" who told them they would have time to escape when in fact the devices were set to explode instantly. Investigators are giving the hypothesis serious attention given the unusual behaviour of the four bombers for such a sophisticated terrorist action. The four men are seen together on closed-circuit TV at Luton railway station at 7.20am on Thursday July 7, 90 minutes before the first bomb exploded. Police issued the images at the weekend as they continue to seek new information. They also confirmed the names of the four bombers. They were Muhammad Sidique Khan, 30, (believed responsible for the Edgware Road blast that killed six); Shahzad Tanweer, 22 (Aldgate, six dead); Hasib Hussain, 18 (the No30 bus, 13 dead); Germaine Lindsay, 19 (King's Cross/Russell Square, 26 dead). All four men had paid their parking tickets before boarding a train at Luton, 40km north of London, for King's Cross station and had all bought return tickets to the capital. "We do not have hard evidence that the men were suicide bombers," a Scotland Yard spokesman told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper. "It is possible that they did not intend to die." An unnamed security official said, "The bombers' masters might have thought that they couldn't risk the four men being caught and spilling everything to British interrogators." As well, the men were carrying their explosives inside rucksacks, not strapped to their bodies as is common practice among suicide bombers. And none was reported to have cried "Allah Akbar" (God is Greatest) before setting off their charge - something most Middle Eastern suicide bombers do. The four were shown on the initial video issued last week strolling down the concourse to King's Cross station chatting easily. "They looked as if they were off on a walking holiday," a security source said. Commenting as the new footage was issued, a senior police officer said, "It is possible they were duped into believing there would be a delay, but what we know is that they carried bombs on to tubes and a bus and set them off, killing themselves and innocent people. "But we are keeping an open mind until we have firm evidence one way or another." Police had based their theory that the attacks were suicide bombings largely around the fact that all four suspects died in the attacks. The head of London's Metropolitan Police, Sir Ian Blair, said on Thursday the attacks had been suicide bombings. "They went on to those tubes or bus to kill, and presumably accepted they would be killed," he said. The official toll from the blasts - on a bus at Tavistock station and on the Underground near Aldgate, Edgware Road and King's Cross stations - stood last night at 55 dead, including Sam Ly, 28, of Melbourne. In all, nine Australians were injured with three remaining in hospital: Tasmanian Ross Mallinson with head injuries, Adelaide woman Gillian Hicks, whose legs were amputated, and Louise Barry who suffered neck and spinal injuries. A toggle switch used to detonate the London bus bomb was found in the leg of Ms Barry. Scotland Yard detectives retrieved the vital clue after an initial operation to remove shrapnel from her thigh. The 29-year-old Sydney woman was sitting at the rear of the No30 bus when a bomb exploded directly above her. She is adjusting to life in a full body brace and metal halo that will help heal her broken vertebrae.
