Egypt questions biochemist on UK attacks
"The greatest danger is that we fail to face up to the nature of the threat that we're dealing with," he said during a speech in London. "And what we are confronting here is an evil ideology. ... It is a battle of ideas, of hearts and of minds, both within Islam and outside it." He also insisted there was no link between Islamic terrorism and the situation in Iraq, where Britain is the second-largest partner in the coalition, or the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. British media have reported that Khan, 30, visited the Houses of Parliament last year as the guest of Labour Party lawmaker Jon Trickett. Two senior Pakistani intelligence officials said Friday that authorities there were looking into a possible connection between Tanweer and two al-Qaida-linked militant groups, and in particular a man arrested for a 2002 attack on a church near the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad. On Saturday, intelligence and school officials said Pakistani authorities questioned several students, teachers and administrators at one of two religious schools — or madrassas — believed visited by Tanweer. Asad Farooq, a spokesman for the Jamia Manzoorul Islam seminary in central Lahore, acknowledged in an interview that intelligence agents were there Saturday, but he denied that Tanweer had ever been at the school. British police on Saturday continued searching a shop called Iqra Learning
Centre in the Leeds neighborhood of Beeston. The shop, which officers raided
Friday, appeared to sell Islamic books and DVDs and offer seminars and
presentations.
