How long until the press starts complaining about how inhumane their detention is and comparing it to gitmo and making nonsense up like we are running a Hussein torture chamber? Reports: Four bomb suspects held Friday, July 29, 2005; Posted: 1:21 p.m. EDT (17:21 GMT) An armed police offiicer passes the cordon in Notting Hill. LONDON, England (CNN) -- Police in London and Rome have seized the last of the four suspected attackers from the attempted July 21 bombings in Britain, officials and police sources say. Osman Hussain, a Somali with British residency, was arrested Friday in Rome, according to Italy's interior ministry. Britain's Home Office said it had no information on a British national named Osman Hussain. Another Somali with British residency, Yasin Hassan Omar, 24, was arrested by British authorities Wednesday in Birmingham. He is suspected of placing a backpack bomb at London's Warren Street Underground station on July 21. The two other at-large suspects were captured during raids in west London, police sources told CNN. They were taken to a central London police station for questioning along with another man. Two addresses were raided in the fashionable neighborhood of Notting Hill and the other in North Kensington, less than a mile away, at Peabody Estate, a government-subsidized apartment building. Another of the suspected bombers, Muktar Said Ibrahim, who was born in Eritrea and became a British citizen in 2003, had earlier been identified by police. The fourth man being held has not been named. Earlier Friday, witnesses said police had been involved in an armed standoff with a man in an apartment at the North Kensington location, according to media reports. (Eyewitness accounts) British Transport Police said two women were also arrested under Britain's Terrorism Act at Liverpool Street station just before 2 p.m. (1300 GMT). A few minutes later, the station -- a major train and subway hub in the city's financial district -- was evacuated following the discovery of an unattended suitcase on the main station concourse. The station reopened shortly after 3 p.m. The west London operation began with police cordoning off the area as a helicopter hovered over the scene. Janice Dyson, a resident, said she saw three well-dressed men with black backpacks surrounded by police -- both uniformed and plainclothes -- before they were put into a white van that drove away. She said there was nothing out of the ordinary about the three men and could not say if they looked like the suspected bombers. A man who lives in the neighborhood told Sky News he heard a loud explosion and when he went to investigate, police ordered him to the back of his building. Later, he decided to come out and was not allowed to return to his home. The man said he heard six loud bangs and police told him those were a result of stun grenades. He said he also heard two shots. Rosemary Mogensen, another resident of the area, said she was not given any warning of the operation. "We just heard a helicopter and the police were there," she said. "This is perceived as a very safe neighborhood, so we're a little shocked to have it happen here." The location of Friday's operation is about one mile from Little Wormwood Scrubs Park, where police found a fifth undetonated bomb three days after the attempted July 21 bombings. Police said the bomb was in a plastic container identical to the four partially-detonated devices left on three tube train cars and double-decker bus. The neighborhood is also a little over a mile from the Shepherd's Bush Underground station, where one of the July 21 bombers failed to detonate a his bomb, then fled, running on a course in the direction of this park. On Thursday, police arrested nine men in the Tooting area of south London. Six were detained at one address and three at another, according to Metropolitan Police. Two weeks before the failed July 21 attacks, attacks on three other subway lines and another bus killed 56 people, including four suicide bombers.
