July 7 bombers Stayed in Karachi

Al-Hayat is reporting that Magdy Elnashar, the Egyptian suspect in the July 7 bombing now being interrogated by British police in Cairo, admits that he knew Hasib Hussein, one of the four bombers, and helped him get an apartment. The apartment he passed to Hasib was discovered to be full of explosives. Elnashar insists on his innocence.

The Times of London reports that three of the July 7 hijackers had visited Pakistan. Two of them had spent a week in a nice hotel and may have later snuck over the border to Afghanistan. It is a creepy thought, but you wonder if Usamah Bin Laden gave Hasiib the mission to hit London.
