Toufik), one of three North Africans arrested last month in London amid media reports that they were planning a gas attack in the Underground. Investigators suggest new attacks may be planned. Last year, "shoe bomber" Richard Reid tried to blow up a Paris-Miami flight. French police last week detained several Pakistanis suspected of having met Reid and given him a place to sleep.
