Britain braces itself for another nervy Thursday

-- Record number of police flood streets of London
-- Cheer for commuters as Piccadilly Line reopens
-- First criminal charge brought since bombings
FOUR weeks after suicide bombers brought carnage to London, the country
is holding its breath today on alert for another terrorist attack.
Tension and the nerves will be felt by millions of commuters and
thousands of police who know that -- for their own perverse reasons -- the
bombers have chosen Thursday as a day of atrocity.
Those using the London Underground and the capital's red buses this
morning will remember that it was four Thursdays ago that British-born
suicide bombers massacred 52 innocent people.
The Piccadilly Line will be fully operational for the first time today
since the July 7 attacks when 26 people died on a train from King's
Cross to Russell Square, the highest toll in the synchronised attacks.
A fortnight later, four more alleged bombers attempted a repeat attack.
Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, said that only a
mistake by the bombmaker prevented more carnage.
Last Thursday saw the biggest security presence on the streets of
London since the Second World War, after intelligence warnings of another
terrorist strike. Even more police will be on duty today, including more
than 3,000 marksmen.
Counter-terrorist officers and the intelligence agencies do not know
why the terrorists have chosen Thursdays for their missions but one
Scotland Yard officer said last night that police could not take chances.
"We have had either atrocity or alerts on two out of three of the last
Thursdays," he said.
As police reinforcements poured into London last night in a determined
show of reassurance and defiance, senior officers recognised that the
huge presence may prompt the terrorists to go for another soft target in
a different city.
"We do not know what it is the minds of these deeply evil people but we
are doing all we can to thwart them with the public’s help and
determination," one senior officer said.
As the huge Scotland Yard security operation got under way, police
brought the first criminal charge last night since the attacks.
Ismael Abdurahman, 23, from Kennington, South London, was charged with
withholding information that could have led to the arrest of Hussain
Osman, who allegedly tried to blow up a Tube train at Shepherd's Bush on
July 21.
Mr Abdurahman will appear before Bow Street Magistrates' Court this
morning. Fourteen other people are in British custody, including three
suspected bombers from the failed July 21 operation. The fourth -- Mr
Osman -- is being held in Rome.
The leader of London's rank-and-file police gave warning that his
members' ability to protect London could be fatally compromised unless they
had time to rest and recuperate. Glen Smyth, chairman of the
Metropolitan Police Federation, said that many officers had endured an
"exhausting regime" since the bombings.
Sir Ian admits that his forces are stretched and there is no sign that
Scotland Yard can drop its guard yet.
Police teams are still investigating possible links between the July 7
and July 21 teams. They have established that both groups used
home-made explosives but not whether the chemicals are exactly the same.
Scientists believe that there may be two bombmakers.
Detectives are increasingly frustrated that, seven days after Mr Osman
was arrested in Italy, they have not been able to question him
directly.
Only one senior Scotland Yard officer is allowed to sit in on the daily
interrogation of the suspect, who is being held in isolation at Rome's
central prison where he is claiming that there was never an intention
to kill or injure people.
Mr Osman's lawyer, Antonietta Sonnessa, said that he is resisting
extradition because he is "scared what might happen to him in prison in
England". An Italian judge is today expected to set a date for hearing
Britain's extradition request.
A Yorkshire-born al-Qaeda suspect held in Zambia now appears certain to
be handed back to Britain. President Mwanawasa said that Haroon Rashid
Aswat, 31, would be flown to London very soon.
Police sources say that he will be questioned about the London bombings
and other matters. The FBI had wanted to interrogate him about his
alleged role in trying to set up al-Qaeda training camps in Oregon in 1999.
His parents, from Dewsbury, want the Government to ensure that their
estranged son is not handed over to the US as they fear that he will be
taken to Guantanamo Bay.
TERRORISTS' MISSILE KILLS GAZA KID, 6

August 3, 2005 -- JERUSALEM -- An attempt by Palestinian terrorists to
attack Israelis backfired yesterday when missiles aimed at Jewish
protesters went off course and killed a 6-year-old Palestinian boy and
wounded others.
The rockets were aimed at the southern Israeli town of Sderot near the
Gaza Strip, where tens of thousands of Israelis were marching to
protest Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's withdrawal plan, which begins Aug. 17.
Two of yesterday's rockets landed in Palestinian areas, while a third
landed in an open field in Sderot.
The dead boy was ID'd as Yasser Adnan Ashkar.
Five of the wounded were kids, including four children of Hisham Abdel
Razek, a former Palestinian Cabinet minister. His wife, too, also
wounded.
Palestinian militants also shot an anti-tank rocket at an Israeli
convoy traveling to the isolated settlement of Netzarim, according to the
Israeli army. There were no reports of injuries.
The Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
terror groups claimed responsibility for that attack.
The protest had originally been banned by Israeli authorities on the
grounds that the military could not guarantee the safety of the marchers
from Palestinian rockets.
The 20,000 to 40,000 marchers were met by 15,000 security officers to
ensure that the protesters did not try to enter Gaza in an attempt to
complicate the pullout.
