...inflict carnage on a comparable scale--provided a measure of relief to a jittery city. In Birmingham, in the center of England, police snared Yasin Hassan Omar, allegedly the man shown on closed-circuit-television tapes who was planning to bomb the Warren Street underground station. The Peabody bust netted Ibrahim Muktar Said, suspected of trying to bomb a bus in east London, and Ramzi Mohammed, who fled from the Oval station after allegedly leaving a bomb.

...else," the French official says. At another point, he says, "We work tirelessly. We use every means at our disposal to discover and avert attacks. And we work as much as possible with our partners." Sometimes, he adds, the work pays off and attacks are averted; he mentions the bust of a Paris-based cell a couple of years ago. "But when we see what it was these people had in store for us, it makes your hair stand on end. Fortunately, we got that group. It's virtually assured that one day, we will miss another like it." --Reported...
