Police investigating the London bombings on Monday named two suspects in connection with last week’s failed attacks. The two suspects were named as Muktar Said Ibraihim, also known as Muktar Mohammed Said, and Yasin Hassan Omar, 24 years old. Police have not yet identified the third suspect. Police say all three entered Stockwell station on Thursday 21 July at 12.25pm.The names were released as detective stepped up inquiries into the support network and international connections of at least eight terrorists. Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, said inquiries were proceeding at an "extraordinary pace", before police revealed they had made a third arrest as they hunted four suspected bombers linked to the July 21 attempts, and those involved in helping them and others "financially and operationally".
Police believe the four terrorists behind the July 7 attacks on the London transport system, which killed 56 people and injured more than 700 others, died in the blasts although their wider connections remain unclear. But the police said over the weekend they believed that at least four people behind the failed attacks last Thursday were still in the UK, and that there was some evidence emerging of links to those who killed themselves in the July 7 attacks.
