Two of Six Suspects in London Bombing Released

by Smita Nordwall

   Two people arrested in connection with the bombing on a London
   Underground train last week have been released without charges, the
   Scotland Yard announced Thursday.

   A 21-year-old man arrested in Hounslow, west London, on Saturday and a
   48-year-old man arrested in Newport, south Wales, on Wednesday were
   both released. Four other men, aged 17 to 30, remain in police custody.

   None of the suspects has been charged, and their names haven't been
   released.

   Thirty people were injured when a homemade bomb, placed inside a bucket
   wrapped in a shopping bag, partly detonated on a train stopped at
   London's Parsons Green station during rush hour September 15.

   The attack sparked a manhunt for the perpetrators and prompted
   officials to briefly raise the national terrorism threat to the highest
   level.

   Police said they are continuing their investigations and are searching
   several properties across the country.
