Bomb suspect held in Cairo-police source
LONDON (Reuters) - An Egyptian chemistry student wanted by police in connection with last week's London bombings is understood to have been arrested in Cairo, a British police source said on Friday.
"I can confirm that a man has been arrested in Cairo," the source told Reuters, saying it was understood to be Magdy Elnashar, a student at Leeds University who officers have been looking for as part of their inquiry.
Media reports said he had rented one of the houses in Leeds, West Yorkshire, raided by police on Tuesday where large amounts of substances suspected to be explosives were seized.
Three of the four suspected suicide bombers who carried out the train and bus attacks which killed at least 54 people were from the Leeds area.
An ABC "Good Morning America" report said Elnashar had left Britain two weeks before the bombings and was now being questioned in Cairo with British agents in attendance
