Bombing suspect shed England soccer shirt

LONDON - This is the latest photograph released by police of the man accused of trying to detonate a bomb on July 21 at Shepherd's Bush Tube station.

The unidentified bomber escaped from the station on a number 220 bus to Wandsworth in south London.

The image shows the man in a vest on a bus after he fled the scene.

Scotland Yard said the man ran from Shepherd's Bush station and is thought to have thrown away a short-sleeved dark blue England soccer shirt at 12.30pm. He was then filmed on a bus in Wood Lane, where the BBC is situated, at about 1.20pm. He stayed aboard the bus until the final stop in Wandsworth at 2.07pm.

He is one of two as yet unnamed bombers who carried out the attempted suicide attacks.

Two other men have been named, and police are investigating the possibility that a fifth man dumped a bomb in northwest London.

Peter Clarke, head of the Met's Anti-Terrorist Branch, said: "We are still trying to confirm the identities of the two other bombers. We need to track them down.

"We need to find Muktar Said Ibrahim, who we believe was responsible for trying to set off a bomb on the number 26 bus in Hackney Rd.

"The public response to our appeals has been superb, and we have been given vital clues in our hunt for the men."
