A Briton held in Zambia on suspicion of terrorism has been deported to the UK.
Haroon Rashid Aswat, 30, of West Yorkshire, is suspected by US officials of involvement in a plot to set up an al-Qaeda training camp in Oregon.
No mention of the London attacks.
Mr Aswat's family have called on the UK government to intervene in his case.
They were upset by newspaper reports claiming British officials were discussing Mr Aswat's extradition with the US government.
"Our government and the FCO are dilly-dallying and do not have the decency to confirm Haroon's detention," they said in a statement.
BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera said British authorities had been "reticent" about handing him over to the US because of the possibility of him ending up at Guantanamo Bay.
Must not hand him over to the Great Satan. Still no mention of the London terror attacks.
It is believed US authorities requested his detention because they want to question him about a 1999 plot to set up an al-Qaeda training camp in Bly, Oregon.
And that's it. Anyone reading the BBC would be totally unaware that Britain wants to question him over his connections to the Muslim terrorists who bombed London.
British officials confirmed the report, but would not immediately elaborate. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are seeking consular access to a British national who is reported to be in custody in Zambia."
Aswat, whose associations with al-Qaeda date back ten years, is believed to have entered Briton about two weeks before July 7 on a ferry into Felixstowe, and to have flown out from Heathrow hours before the four suicide bombers killed 52 rush-hour commuters on three Tube trains and a bus.
Investigators have sought him since discovering that he made up to 20 calls from his mobile phone to two of the bombers. Intelligence sources told The Times that during his stay in Britain Aswat visited the home towns of all four bombers as well as selecting targets in London.
Any doubt whose side the BBC is on?
