Police release CCTV image of
four alleged London bombers

U.K. authorities are drip-feeding CCTV images of the four alleged London bombers, to help bolster the credibility of their tale.

The latest is claimed to have been taken as they entered Luton train station to (presumably) board a train for London.

And there's still no sign yet that police will release images they claim to have of the four in King's Cross station, London -where they are alleged to have split up.

Police have also confirmed the name of all four men for the first time: Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, Germaine Lindsay, 19, Hasib Hussain, 18, and Shahzad Tanweer, 22.

Amear Ali remembers how the film images clicked by in rapid-fire sequence to a soundtrack of pounding drums: dead Iraqi children, Palestinians under siege, Guantanamo prisoners, snippets of President Bush repeating the word "crusade."

Now an Islamic bookstore operated by his brother-in-law has been drawn deeper Saturday into the international investigation of the July 7 London bombings...

Ali said he first noticed outsiders coming into Beeston in the late 1990s speaking about Muslim causes and identity. He said they were always well-spoken, fluent in English and often dressed in the traditional shalwar kameez, a loose tunic-and-trouser outfit common in Pakistan and across South Asia.

Ali said the men were always vague about their affiliations - never mentioning al-Qaida or any of the Muslim groups in Britain - and first offered only generalities about the importance of prayer and following Islamic codes....

ONE of the London suicide bombers, Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, was allowed to tour the Houses of Parliament a guest of the Labour MP Jon Trickett in July 2004, four months after he had been identified by intelligence officials as a "criminal associate" of one of the subjects of a major counter-terrorism operation that had resulted in several arrests...

Pakistani intelligence officials are looking into a connection between one of the three Britons and two al-Qaeda-linked militant groups in that country. They confirmed that Shahzad Tanweer spent four or five days at a complex run by the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba and said he also met a member of another al-Qaeda-linked Pakistani terrorist group who was later arrested for bombing a church in Islamabad.

More details emerged yesterday that there had been indications an attack was imminent. Plans for attacks on targets in both the United States and Britain were discovered among material found during the capture of Abu Faraj Farj al-Liby, one of the most senior al-Qaeda leaders, and of a Pakistani computer expert, Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan....

I want to see DNA proof
SUICIDE bomber Lindsay Jamal’s wife last night insisted: “They’ll have to prove to me he did it.” Pregnant Samantha Lewthwaite, 22, refused to accept Jamal was the fourth London bomber, responsible for 26 deaths.

She sobbed: “He wasn’t the sort of person who’d do this. I won’t believe it until I see proof.” JAMAL did work experience with his local council while still at school — and said he “thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Horror of fourth bomber's family
The family of the fourth bomber Germaine Lindsay have described their horror at the London bomb attacks. They describe Germaine, 19, as having a "kind, caring and calming presence about him".
