Five suspects in last week's failed attacks on the London transit system were in police custody Tuesday and London's police chief said the force was "racing against time" to find the bombers. Prime Minister Tony Blair, seeking to strengthen Britain's anti-terror laws, was to meet with opposition party leaders to discuss new legislation aimed at preventing a repeat of July 7 bombings that killed 52 people. Police released the names of two arrested men on Monday as well as more details on how four suspected bombers fled three subway trains and a bus when their devices failed to fully detonate. Those bombs and the one found abandoned Saturday were made using clear plastic food-storage containers put into dark-colored bags or backpacks. Peter Clarke, head of the Metropolitan Police anti-terrorist squad, also revealed at a televised news conference that the bombs were similar to another found in a park, raising fears a fifth bomber was on the loose. Clarke identified two of the suspects as Yasin Hassan Omar, 24, and Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, also known as Muktar Mohammed Said, but did not give their nationalities, according to a report of The Associated Press.
