Britain - British Terrorist Arrested

Of course the Financial Times is careful not to call him a terrorist, preferring instead to call him a "member of a home-grown suicide bomb cell".

Now comes Britain's greatest dilemma. Britain knows that there are more bombers out there on the lose who may be planning more attacks. How far to you go to get information out of this terrorist that might save an untold number of lives?

The first arrest of a suspected member of a home-grown suicide bomb cell offers investigators the clearest opportunity to gain knowledge of a British-based network which has so far eluded police. Investigators also will want to question Mr Omar about the suspected terror cell and the would-be bombers' support networks and financing, along with possible links to the attacks of July 7, which killed more than 50 people in London.[...]

He said police were still hunting Muktar Said-Ibrahim, suspected of trying to set off a bomb on a No 26 bus in east London, and two other would-be bombers who are still to be positively identified. A suspect package was found at the Birmingham address, prompting evacuation of the immediate area, police said.[...]

With the other would-be bombers still at large police have warned of the danger of further attacks.


And the clock is ticking. Alfred Hitchcock couldn't have written a more sinister plot.

UPDATE

The Mirror reports that Yasin Hassan Omar may have been on his way to explode another bomb.

BOMB suspect Yasin Hassan Omar (left) yelled at police "Get back or I'll take you with me" as they stormed his hideout, it was claimed yesterday.

He was wearing a rucksack.


Do the others still have bombs? Since the bombs were made from readily obtainable, off the shelf materials, could the terrorists still at large be making more at this very minute?

How far do you go to get Omar to talk before the other terrorists murder more innocent people?
