Pak cops questions London blast suspect HindustanTimes.com UK edition, India
Police in Pakistan is questioning the British al-Qaeda leader connected with the 7/7 London bombings. Mobile phone records detailing his calls with the suicide bombers have been found. Haroon Rashid Aswat, a British passport holder, is the man that Scotland Yard have been hunting since he flew out of Britain just hours before the attacks. Aswat, 30, who is believed to come from the same West Yorkshire town as one of the bombers, arrived in Britain a fortnight before the attacks for the final planning of the carnage. It has been found that he spoke to the suicide bombers on his mobile phone a few hours before the four men blew themselves up, according to intelligence sources. Apparently, during his stay here, Aswat visited the home towns of all four bombers as well as selecting targets in London. Western intelligence has been aware of Aswat. About three years ago the FBI accused him of trying to set up al-Qaeda training camps in the US. He was arrested in a madrassa in Sargodha, 90 miles away from Islamabad. Aswat is understood to have been posing as a businessmen and using the name Abu Ubaid.

London on hunt after new attack Boston Globe
British authorities launched a massive investigation to find the attackers who set off four small explosions across the city yesterday and to determine whether they are connected to the suicide bombers who struck in similar but far bloodier attacks two weeks ago. Like the attacks of July 7, explosive devices went off yesterday on three subway trains and a double-decker bus, spreading panic among an already jittery populace and again disrupting London's vast transportation network. But as of last night, only one person was reported injured in the lunch-hour attacks, two weeks to the day after bombings killed 56 people -- including the four bombers -- and wounded more than 700.

How to restore true fairness to Supreme Court hearings DetNews.com
Judge John Roberts Jr. appears to be such a well-qualified and boring Supreme Court nominee that not even the hostile atmosphere in the US Senate could deprive him of receiving what President George W. Bush called a "fair" hearing. I've found a pretty good description of what a "fair" hearing should entail, but only in modern-day Washington could this level-headed idea be ignored. Already, extreme liberal senators, like New York's Charles Schumer, say they have a long list of questions for which they demand answers. Schumer gave an example in 2003 at the confirmation hearing for Roberts' current position on the U.S. Court of Appeals.

The death toll in Egypt’s deadly bombings at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh has climbed to 65 people overnight.
