Arrests have been made in Hyde Park/Burley according to the Beeb as well as streets sealed off in Beeston and Dewsbury

It is on Sky tv news.

Bit like certain posters here: on the face of it, as a rule of thumb, I believe it a bit less because of who said it.

Sky trying to take advantage of BBC's post-Hutton resolution not to be first but to be right. Must remember to lead Sky up some amusing garden path, as soon as it's tasteful so to do. Shouldn't be hard.

All four bombers British according to BBC, not all four bombers died.

Looks Like Paddick or Blair are about to give a statement shortly.

All tube train bombers British-born suicide bombers according to News 24 quoting security sources.

Press conference: 3 of the homes raided belonged to the bombers, all caught on CCTV at King's Cross, one reported as missing person on Thursday 10am, 3 names found close to explosions, "missing" guy was on the bus, strong forensic evidence of death at Aldgate, not yet formally confirmed, investigation still at early stages. "Suspect materials" found in Yorkshire, detailed analysis to follow, same with car in London, one arrest in Yorkshire.

CCTV footage at Kings cross of all four men - if correct it suggests they all died in the attcks, because if they wanted to survive and not be caught it seems likely they would not have met up in advance. They would have known there would be CCTV footage and that it would draw unwarranted attention to themselves.

So, Sir John Stevens (and Sas) was right after all.

So ID cards would have been very helpful then.

And there's something in here that looks very dodgy indeed. I could be wrong.

[jæd]

Then why did you say it...?

 

[kea]

i think she means that there's a young asian lad among those missing.
and if that's what it is, i think it's a piece of shit.

 

[Orang Utan]

Something that looks dodgy. To me. That's all I am saying.

You can't just say that - that's a fucking stupid fishwife gossipy thing to say - fucking spit it out!

 

[exosculate]

and if that's what it is, i think it's a piece of shit.

I was hoping it wasn't that.

The BBC News 24 report suggests one of the bombers was reported missing at approx 10am on Thursday last by his mother. I'm not sure if Stobbie is suggesting that that is him on that list!

 

[kea]

his poor mother can you imagine. poor woman, what she must be going through.

The man reported missing in the press conference was from Leeds wasn't he?
And this guy went missing from Finsbury Park

 

[NickLarmour]

Raids in Leeds : Did I hear the guy from Leeds on News24 say tha a property in Wosley Road has been raided ?
They have closed off Hyde Park Road and my brother in laws best mate lives near there ! :S

yes, i'm not suggesting that I think he had anything to do with it. i'm suggesting that that is what stobart finds 'suspicious' on the webpage she linked to.

<silly words deleted by editor>

i think you are wrong and what's more i think it's rather offensive to look at an asian guy and immediately think it must be him.
if i was that lad's relatives i would want to fucking punch you frankly.

<silly words deleted by editor>

You could indeed. Remember that the police are talking about four people being seen on video arriving at King's Cross mainline (clearly intended implication: they'd come from Leeds and they were the bombers).

[kea]

what, sas left because he took offense at me disagreeing with you about your ideas about victims of the bombs?!

no seriously, has he left?

 

[STFC]

It was the 3 weeks thing that made me suspicious actually.

Be honest though, if the bloke wasn't of Asian appearance you wouldn't have been suspicious would you?

He added that at least three of the four men were from West Yorkshire, the county where Leeds is located.

Police and Army troops were led to six properties in Leeds after identifying a suspected bomber who died in the bus bombing, sources told the Press Association, a British news service. Scotland Yard refused to confirm the claims.

Earlier reports had quoted a witness on the bus who said he saw an “agitated” olive-skinned man rummaging in a backpack moments before the explosion.

The Leeds homes were searched and found to be unoccupied.

Several neighbors told NBC News that the area had been home to several young Pakistani men who had not been seen since before the bombings Thursday. The father of one man has been interviewed by police, NBC reported.
