'Liquid bomb' terror suspect a 'hero' of London attack
'One
of the terror suspects detained in Britain last week over an alleged
plot to bomb transatlantic flights was involved in helping victims of
the July 7 bus and tube bombs in London last year. Umar Islam, then a
ticket inspector on London buses, helped search for bombs on other
buses and assisted victims of the Tavistock Square bus bomb to safety.
Further details emerged yesterday of some of the 23 British Muslims
arrested under Britain's new anti-terrorism laws last week.
The
Sun newspaper reported that the actions of Islam, 28, a former
Rastafarian who converted to Islam, had been "at dramatic odds" with
allegations he was involved in the latest terror plot.'
