Meanwhile, British police have identified a British-born man who they say masterminded the coordinated bomb attacks on London last week. According to the London Times, the man is believed to be in his thirties and of Pakistani origin. The paper says he arrived at a British port last month and is understood to have left the country the day before the bombings killed at least 52 people. Meanwhile, The New York Times is quoting an unnamed US official as saying the man is a British citizen. The paper says that while he is not “Anglo,” said the American official, he is not of Pakistani descent. On Wednesday, several US law enforcement officials identified one of the suspected bombers as a Jamaican-born British resident named Lindsey Germaine. The other suspected bombers were of Pakistani descent and lived in the working-class neighborhoods of Leeds.
