October 24, 2005
ANTI-terrorist police arrested a man last night in connection with the 7/7 London bombings.
The 27-year-old – who allegedly claimed to have trained as a terrorist in Pakistan in an interview with a Sunday newspaper – is being quizzed at a police station.
He was arrested in Dewsbury, West Yorks, on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000.
Two properties were also searched.
The newspaper report named the man as Imran Patel. It claims he met the London suicide bombers.
