Sometimes I am skeptical of such reports. It is awfully easy for police to give up the search if the perps are all dead.

To me it seems strange that first they report the bombers used timers, and then they report the bombers did not avail themselves of those timers to get to safety before the bombs exploded.

If the London bombers were really suicide bombers, it showed how easy it is to recruit Islamic fanatics to become suicide bombers in the US. Seventy seven virgins awaiting in heaven (does not matter ugly, fat, short, deformed or old, they are still virgins) really give temptation to young guys with raging hormones.

Police stand guard near a house on Tempest road in the Beeston district of Leeds, England, after raids throughout the area in connection with the recent terrorist bombings in London.
LEEDS, England – Police said Tuesday they were investigating whether four attackers died in last week's London subway and bus bombings and have arrested one person after a series of raids in this northern city with a strong Muslim community.
At least three of the suspected bombers came from the West Yorkshire region, which includes Leeds, said Peter Clarke, head of the Metropolitan Police anti-terrorist branch.

Closed-circuit TV video showed that all four had arrived at King's Cross station by 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, about 20 minutes before the blasts began that killed at least 52 people, Clarke said.

In a Scotland Yard news conference, Clarke said police had "strong forensic and other evidence" that the man who carried a bomb onto a subway train that exploded between the Aldgate and Liverpool Street stations had died in the blast, and they were awaiting confirmation from the coroner. Police were trying to determine whether the other three also died in the explosions.

Police indicated that there had been a breakthrough in their inquiry.

"This investigation is going at great speed," Clarke said.

One of the suspects had been reported missing by his family at 10 a.m. Thursday, and some of his property was found on the double-decker bus in which 13 died, Clarke said.
