LONDON, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- A suspect in the bungled London transit bombings of July 21, Hussain Osman, was extradited from Italy to England Thursday on a military flight.
The 27-year-old Ethiopian native was arrested by Scotland Yard on a domestic warrant when he disembarked near London. He is accused of trying to blow up a subway train in west London two weeks after four transit bombers killed 52 people and themselves. None of the July 21 bombs exploded.
Osman allegedly fled the scene and hid in London before taking a train to Paris July 26. Italian authorities tracked him down by following a network of signals from his mobile phone, The Times of London said.
He was arrested in Rome a week after the attacks, and told police his bomb was packed with flour and was meant to scare people but not harm them.
Four other men are in custody awaiting trial in November in the bombing attempts.
