Terror Suspect Deported, Arrested

Briton Of Indian Descent Accused Of U.S. Terrorist Camp Plot

(AP)  Clerics Omar Bakri Mohammed, Abu Izzaden and Abu Uzair, have appeared on British television in recent days and a spokeswoman for Lord Goldmsith's office said prosecutors and police would look at remarks made by the three and consider whether they could face charges of treason, incitement to treason, solicitation of murder, or incitement to withhold information known to be of use to police.

Omar Bakri Mohammed, one of Britain's most controversial clerics, has reportedly said since the July 7 attacks that killed 56 people in London that he would not inform police if he knew Muslims were planning another attack and he supports insurgents who attack troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"No decision on charges has been made yet," the attorney general's office spokeswoman said, speaking anonymously because British civil servants are rarely allowed to be quoted by name. "The Crown Prosecution Service will be looking at it to see if any offenses have been committed."

The spokeswoman said prosecutors may also seek access to taped recordings made by an undercover Sunday Times reporter who reportedly recorded members of a radical group praising the suicide bombers as "The Fantastic Four."

The newspaper's story said its reporter spent two months as a "recruit" of the group, the Savior Sect, and described the organization as inciting young British Muslims to become terrorists.

Two British newspapers reported Sunday on a possible Saudi connection to the attacks.

The Sunday Telegraph and The Observer, citing unidentified Saudi security officials, said two al Qaeda operatives in the kingdom made calls, text messages and money transfers to Britain earlier this year. The newspaper said the two — Younis al-Hayari and Karim al-Majati — since had been killed in separate gun battles.

British police have not made any firm links between the bombers and foreign militants, although they are pursuing international links — to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Zambia — as they hunt for possible conspirators.

The Telegraph quoted Prince Turki al-Faisal, the Saudi ambassador in London, as saying Saudi officials gave Britain information several months ago "of a heightened expectancy of attacks on London."

He said authorities were examining "some telephone conversations between some of these terrorist suspects and people in Saudi Arabia."

The prince told the British Broadcasting Corp. on Sunday it would be premature to say al-Majati and al-Hayari were connected to the London bombings. But he said their involvement was "under investigation by both your security forces and our security forces."

Police have charged six people with failing to disclose information about the four men's whereabouts. A further nine are being questioned in connection with the attacks.
