One of the bombers of the failed attack on London is an Ethiopian.

What more bad news can poor Ethiopia take. I have looked at his picture and he doesn’t look like an Ethiopian to me.

The Italian government said, terrorists are being helped by Ethiopians and Eritrians in Italy. I think this is an exaggeration.

God help us all.

He is not Ethiopian. He is Eritrean. The other one is Somali. The cowards came out of their hole naked holding their hands up.

No it has been confirmed by the Italian Government that he is Ethiopian. He was arrested on Friday (this is a new development).

Yes,

The person who was on the run was arrested on Friday. He was one of the four suspects. He is an Eritrean. He was captured in London. The person who is captured in Rome is neither Ethiopian nor Eritrean. His picture is all over the internet.

Italian police fan out across Italy as investigators grill
London bombing suspect

Investigators grilled a suspect captured in connection with the
failed July 21 attacks on London's transit system as police fanned out
across the country Saturday to determine if any attacks were being plotted
against Italy.


Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu offered the first details
about suspect Osman Hussain's flight from England to Italy following botched
bombings on three subway trains and a bus, revealing that the suspect had
taken a train from London's Waterloo station on July 26.


London Waterloo International is the main terminal for the
Eurostar train, which transports passengers from Britain to mainland Europe
via the Channel Tunnel. Pisanu didn't say where the Briton was headed from
Waterloo; Italian news reports have said the suspect went to Paris, about 2
1/2 hours away by train.


Hussain, a dual British-Ethiopian citizen accused of trying to
attack the Shepherd's Bush station in west London on July 21, was arrested
Friday in Rome after authorities reportedly tracked him down by tracing his
cell phone calls.


News of his arrest came hours after police in London took two
other suspected July 21 attackers into custody Friday. A fourth suspected
bomber was arrested Wednesday in Birmingham, England. The failed attempts
came exactly two weeks after four suicide bomb blasts devastated parts of
three subway trains and a double-decker bus, killing the bombers and 52
others.


Britain wants Hussain extradited. Security officials at Rome's
Regina Coeli prison said interrogation by anti-terrorism prosecutors would
resume later Saturday and indicated that no extradition hearing had been
set.


Italy is keen to learn as much as it can about the suspect's
contacts and movements here as it tries to thwart any possible attack plots.
Pisanu said he was answering interrogators' questions.


Italian police were conducting more than a dozen searches across
the country based on the suspect's contacts, Pisanu said. The minister said
"important investigations" were being conducted in Venice, Salerno and other
cities from north to south.


He said Carabinieri paramilitary police in Milan raided a place
producing false documents for illegal immigrants, seizing papers that were
being examined by authorities.


"We are facing a grave threat which must be dealt with all means
of prevention and crackdown that we have," Pisanu told the Chamber of
Deputies, which gathered to debate tightening anti-terrorism measures.


Italy was also closely watching the Horn of Africa, the eastern
African area that includes Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea.


"We are following the evolution of the overall situation in the
Horn of Africa where, in stateless lands, al-Qaida has arrived, has settled
and from where it tends, in various ways, to dispatch its followers into
Europe and the rest of the world," Pisanu said.


He noted that the Italian navy has been patrolling the waters
off the region's coast, where pirates recently attacked Italian ships.


Investigators want to know how the suspect made his way to Rome.
The Milan daily Corriere della Sera said investigators are almost certain
Hussain traveled entirely by train after fleeing London.


Reports said his use of a relative's cell phone throughout his
escape was crucial in helping police track him down at an apartment in the
outskirts of Rome reportedly belonging to a brother. Cell phones linked to a
regular account can be easily traced.


British secret services told French and Italian investigators
that Hussain was using an English cell phone belonging to a brother-in-law,
reports said.


Police with bomb-sniffing dogs searched the apartment for hours
Friday night. Two maps of the Paris subway system were found in the
apartment, but it was unclear if the suspect might have used them as part of
his flight or if they figured in any attack plans, Corriere said.


Italian newspapers said Hussain spoke fluent Italian. Besides a
brother in Rome, his father lives in the northern Italian city of Brescia,
Corriere said. But Pisanu said the Ethiopian father of the suspect's fiancee
lived in Brescia, and that Hussain had contacts with others from the Horn of
Africa in Milan and Brescia.


Police confirmed reports saying investigators believe Hussain's
real name is Hamdi Isaac. Corriere identified his brother in Rome as Remzi
Isaac.


Italian police said Hussain was born in Ethiopia and turned 27
just two days after the failed attacks.


Italian SKY TG24 said Hussain used fake Somali documents to
claim political asylum in Britain and to later obtain British citizenship.
Britain's Home Office declined to comment on the report.
