Britain - Italy Arrests Fourth Terrorist

Of course The BBC merely calls him a bomber.

Italian police have arrested the fourth man wanted in the UK over the failed attacks in London on 21 July.

Osman Hussain - a Somali-born British citizen - was staying at his brother's flat in Rome when he was detained.


What's not addressed in this article is how did Hussain get out of Britain when all exits were supposed to be under close surveillance.

Interestingly, the BBC offer this opinion in the article:

No link has yet been established between the 7 July attacks and the 21 July incidents.


You'll note that statement and this article are not attributed to anyone and therefore must be the BBC's opinion.

While The Times (UK) reports:

The nature of the recovered devices provides concrete evidence of a direct link between the July 7 suicide squad, whose four bombs killed 56 people, and the July 21 unit whose four devices failed to detonate.

A security source said: "This completes the circle. The bombmaker used the same constituents in the devices used in the fatal first attacks and the abortive attempts a fortnight later."


See here also.

Of course as my ciritcs like to point out, the BBC likes to put forth differing opinions from different people. But as you can see from this article the BBC are clearly injecting their own opinion into the news story.

While I on the other hand, maintain the BBC is suppose to be a news organization and report the facts. Opinions are suppose to be on the "opinion" page.
