[Blunderov] I was reading this report about the hunt for the
'mastermind' of the London bombings...
<snip>
According to The Sun newspaper, the man, whom it named as 33-year-old
Magdi El-Nashar, was studying for a biochemistry doctorate at Leeds
University and disappeared just before the attacks, it is thought to
Egypt. </snip>

> According to The Sun newspaper,
I think that phrase should give you all the reassurance you could
possibly want. While the story is certainly plausible, it is
nonetheless difficult to mistake the Sun for a newspaper.
Incidentally, as gratifying as many of the tributes to British
stoicism and tea-drinking were, I couldn't help but think there was an
element of self-mythologisation to it. I certainly don't recall the
Spanish reaction to the Madrid bombings being especially different;
you react with stoicism because there is little alternative under
those circumstances.

I recall half a million people demonstrating on the streets of Madrid,
the fall of the government, plus Spanish withdrawal from Iraq - a bit
different I would say

[Blunderov] True, The Sun is more noted for its nude photographic
studies than its journalism. Nevertheless this AFP report does seem to
corroborate my anxieties about that report.

"WASHINGTON (AFP) - An Egyptian wanted in connection with the London
terrorist bombings studied chemical engineering at North Carolina State
University in the United States, the institution said Thursday.
Magdy El-Nashar, who has links to the house in the English city of Leeds
where the bombs were made, spent one semester at North Carolina's
chemical engineering department, said Mick Kulikowski, a university
spokesman."

[Blunderov] An update. I feel a little easier now. It has been worrying
me for some time that bio-terror is a far more dangerous threat than
nuclear weapons are.
Best Regards.

Hunted chemistry expert arrested
Mr al-Nashar completed a chemistry PhD at Leeds University
An Egyptian chemistry expert sought by police over the London bombings
has been arrested in Cairo, Egypt.
Magdi Mahmoud al-Nashar, 33, had not been seen by colleagues in Leeds
since early July.
British police are searching a house in Leeds linked to Mr al-Nashar,
but have not formally named him as a suspect in their investigation.
Egypt's Interior Ministry said Mr al-Nashar denied having any role in
the bombings, and was in Egypt on holiday.
Mr al-Nashar had planned to return to London, according to the ministry.
