Jailed American link to London bombing?

Admitted al-Qaida agent holds clues to UK attacks, investigators suspect

An American citizen arrested last year by the FBI, and who has admitted to being a sleeper agent for al-Qaida, may be a key source of information regarding last week's London terror attacks, WorldNetDaily has learned.

Mohammed Junaid Babar, a naturalized citizen from Pakistan, was secretly taken into custody by the FBI last April. He has since admitted to aiding an al-Qaida plot to blow up discos, restaurants and train stations in London in 2004. He also told interrogators he smuggled money and military supplies to a senior al-Qaida operative in Pakistan and helped set up a jihad training camp in south Waziristan.

British authorities foiled the 2004 London bombing plot following Babar's admissions, which led to the arrests of eight British suspects of Pakistani origin and the seizure of 1,000 pounds of ammonium-nitrate fertilizer, which can be used to make explosives, from a storage locker near central London.

But sources close to Babar's interrogation told WND elements of the foiled bombing Babar helped to plan bear striking resemblance to last week's bus and subway attacks.

They also say a London native in custody in Pakistan who has been previously identified by Babar as an al-Qaida agent could be a major source of information regarding last week's attacks.
