Three suspects released in bomb case in Britain
Tue May 15, 2007 10:07PM EDT

LONDON (Reuters) - Three people arrested last week in connection
with the suicide bombings in 2005 on London's transport system,
including the widow of ringleader Mohammad Sidique Khan, have
been released without charge, police said.

A fourth man, aged 34, who was also arrested last Wednesday
remained at a London police station after officers were granted
a warrant to detain him until May 21.

Khan and three other young British Muslims blew themselves up on
July 7, 2005, killing 52 people on three underground trains and a
bus in the first suicide attacks by Islamist militants in Western
Europe.

Police said a 29-year-old woman and two men aged 30 and 22 were
released without charge on Tuesday evening. A source familiar
with the case had identified the woman as Khan's widow Hasina
Patel.
