London's bombers may have been suicides

Cops think maybe all 4 died in blasts

Chicago Tribune


LONDON - Police and forensic experts yesterday searched homes and cars north of London for evidence linking four men, captured on closed-circuit TV at a downtown train station, to four coordinated bomb blasts last week on the capital's subway and a bus.

Police believe that at least three of the men, and perhaps all four, whom they did not name, may have died in the explosions Thursday. Personal papers that they found bearing the suspects' names, and other evidence found in the wreckage, raised fears that London may have suffered, for the first time, suicide bombings.

Late yesterday, British media, citing police sources, described the men as Britons of Pakistani descent. The youngest was 19, according to reports in today's papers.

One man was arrested yesterday in the West Yorkshire area, about 185 miles north of London, in connection with the raids and was to be transferred to Scotland Yard for questioning, officials said.

At least 52 people were killed in the explosions, and recovery operations still are going on. Police have said they believe that the attacks were linked to groups affiliated with the radical Islamic network al Qaeda.

The homes of about 500 people in Leeds, a city of 715,000 with tight-knit Arab and Pakistani communities, were cordoned off yesterday during an intense police hunt that began at dawn and lasted into the night.

Homes of three of the four suspects were searched, police said.

In the afternoon, police evacuated a train station in Luton, 30 miles north of London, to search a car in an adjoining parking lot for possible explosives. Investigators think the four men arrived at the Luton station early Thursday and then traveled by train to London.
