Image of bombers' deadly journey Police have released a CCTV image of the four London bombers as they set out from Luton on their bombing mission. They 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, were pictured in Luton at 0720 BST on Thursday 7 July. Three bombs exploded on the London underground at 0850 BST, and one on a bus at 0947. Fifty-five people died, including the four bombers. The picture was released in an attempt to find out more about their final movements. Peter Clarke, head of the Anti-Terrorist Branch, said: "The investigation continues on many fronts, but we have been very grateful for the contribution made by the public in response to our previous appeals. "However we still need to find out more about these four men and their movements, both on the morning of the bombings, and in the days and weeks beforehand." It is thought Hussain was responsible for the bus bombing, in which 13 people died, Khan for the Edgware Road blast that killed six people; Tanweer for the Aldgate blast, which also killed six people, and Lindsay for the Russell Square explosion where 26 people were killed. In other developments: Ten addresses in West Yorkshire and one in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, have been searched. Seven of the 10 West Yorkshire searches are still ongoing. Police have been given extra time to question a man, arrested on 12 July on suspicion of the commission, instigation or preparation of acts of terrorism, and held in a central London police station Police have taken more than 800 witness statements and have received 3,500 calls from the public through the anti-terrorist hotline The wreckage of the bombed number 30 bus has been moved from Tavistock Square in central London for further forensic examination Earlier, Tony Blair said it was time to stand up to the "evil ideology" behind the London bombings and other attacks. He said such violence was not in response to any particular policy or founded on any injustice, but in a "fanaticism" that had to be confronted. Speaking to Labour party members in London, the prime minister said it would be a "misunderstanding of a catastrophic order" to think that if the developed world changed its behaviour, extremists would change theirs. 'Iraq link' "If it is the plight of the Palestinians that drives them, why, every time it looks as if Israel and Palestine are making progress, does the same ideology perpetrate an outrage that turns hope back into despair? "If it is Afghanistan that motivates them, why blow up innocent Afghans on their way to their first-ever election? LONDON BOMBERS Mohammad Sidique Khan : Aged 30, from Beeston, Leeds, recently moved to Dewsbury, married with baby. ID found at Edgware Road blast site. Hasib Mir Hussain : Aged 18, lived Holbeck, Leeds. Reported missing on day of bombings. Said to have turned very religious two years ago. ID found in No 30 bus. Shehzad Tanweer : Aged 22, born Bradford, lived Beeston, Leeds. Studied religion in Pakistan. Forensic evidence linking him to Aldgate blast. Germaine Lindsay (above): Jamaican-born man who lived in Buckinghamshire. Believed to have carried out King's Cross attack. "If it is Iraq that motivates them, why is the same ideology killing Iraqis by terror in defiance of an elected Iraqi government? "What was 11 September 2001 the reprisal for?" But some Labour left-wingers said there was a link between the Iraq war and the attacks. John McDonnell, Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington, said it was "intellectually unsustainable" to say the war in Iraq had not motivated the bombers. "For as long as Britain remains in occupation of Iraq the terrorist recruiters will have the argument they seek to attract more susceptible young recruits to the bomb team. Britain must withdraw now." And in an interview for GMTV's Sunday programme, Labour ex-minister Clare Short, who resigned over the Iraq war, said she "had no doubt" the atrocities were linked to Iraq. "We are implicit in the slaughter of large numbers of civilians in Iraq and supporting a Middle East policy that for the Palestinians creates this sense of double standards - that feeds anger," she said. The families of Khan, Hussain and Lindsay have all issued statements expressing their shock and sadness at events. Arrest 'groundless' British police have turned their attention to finding those who may have helped the bombers carry out last Thursday's attacks. One of the houses being searched in Leeds is linked to Egyptian biochemist Magdi Mahmoud al-Nashar, 33, who has been arrested in Cairo. Egypt's interior minister said press reports linking Mr al-Nashar to al-Qaeda were "groundless" and based on a hasty conclusion. Other properties being searched are the Holbeck home of Hussain, the Dewsbury home of Khan, and the Beeston home of Tanweer. The property searched in Aylesbury was where Lindsay lived. On Saturday the police sealed off and searched a house in Tempest Road in Beeston, Leeds, not far from where Tanweer lived. On Friday Britain's top Muslims issued a joint statement of condemnation branding the London bombings "utterly criminal, totally reprehensible, and absolutely un-Islamic". But Britain's highest ranking Asian police officer, Tarique Ghaffur, said Muslims and their leaders must do more than just condemn the bombings. Mr Ghaffur, the Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner, urged members of the community to inform on potential terrorists and their supporters. The police would have to engage better with minorities - but the minorities would have to take the first step, he said. Police are urging anyone with information that could help their investigation to call the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321.
