FACE OF THE BUS BOMBER

Police have released a CCTV image of the man they believe bombed the No 30 bus in London's Tavistock Square.

They have appealed for information on the movements of 18-year-old Hasib Hussain while he was in London.

He was seen at Luton Station at 7.20am on the day of the bombings before travelling to King's Cross in London with three other men.

It is thought Hussain then tried to get on a Northern Line train but was unable to due to disruption on the line.

He could then have been on the No 30 bus for up to 45 minutes before he set off his bomb at 9.47am.

Up to 80 people were on the bus when it exploded.

Police want to hear from anybody who may have seen Hussain at any stage that morning.

The news comes as the number of people killed in the transport bombings rose to 53.

Seven people died in the Liverpool St/Aldgate blast; seven in the Edgware Road blast; 26 in the King's Cross/Russell Square bombing; and 13 in the No 30 bus.

Anti-terror police are now hunting two others suspects known as the "mastermind" and the "chemist".

They have named Shehzad Tanweer, 22, and Mohammed Sadique Khan, 30, both from the Leeds area, as two bombing suspects. Police said Tanweer carried out the Aldgate Tube attack.

The fourth bomber is believed to be a Jamaican-born Briton called Lindsey Germail.

DAC Peter Clarke of London's anti-terror branch said they were looking at "who committed the bombings, who supported them, sho financed them, who trained them and who encouraged them".
