Zambia to hand over July 7 'mastermind' to Britain

ZAMBIA is preparing to hand over to Britain a Briton of Indian origin, arrested in the southern African nation 11 days ago, who reportedly was the mastermind of the London bombings.

"We have tentatively agreed to hand him over to the British Government," said a police official, who asked not to be named.

"The US Government also requested us to hand him over to them, but after further discussions amongst ourselves, we realised that it would be proper that he be handed over to the British Government because he is a British national," he said.
