LONDON - An unidentified
man caught by closed-circuit TV cameras standing near the four suspects
in the London terror attacks is being sought by British authorities, a
week after the deadly attack that killed at least 53 people in the
British capital.
Meantime, British police
confirmed that the attacks were suicide bombings while they released a
photo of one of the suspects taken shortly before the bombing of a
double-decker bus.
Metropolitan Police
Commissioner Ian Blair told the Foreign Press Association that police
believe “that we know who the four people carrying the bombs were ...
and we believe they are all dead.”
“We are as certain as we
can be that four people were killed and they were the four people
carrying bombs,” Blair said.
His comments were the first
public confirmation from police that the July 7 attackers were suicide
bombers. Bombs exploded on three subway trains and a bus, killing at
least 53 people, including the attackers. The death toll was officially
raised Thursday from 52.
Peter Clarke, head of the
Metropolitan Police anti-terrorist branch, on Thursday identified the
suspected suicide bomber who blew up the double-decker bus, killing 13
people, as Hasib Hussain.
This
handout photo on the left, released by the Metropolitan Police on
Thursday shows a CCTV image of Hasib Hussain seen at Luton
station on July 7. Hussain was on the No 30 bus in London which exploded
the same day, killing at least 13 people. |
