Police hold second brother of terror suspect

Police in northern Italy today arrested another brother of the London bombings suspect jailed in Rome, on charges of destroying documents sought by investigators, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.

Police in Brescia said they weren’t authorised to talk about the report, saying the issue was now in the hands of local prosecutors, who weren’t answering their phones.

ANSA said the brother, Fati Issac, had been interrogated for hours by anti-terrorism police in a police station in Brescia, a northern industrial city.

On Friday, Italian police arrested Osman Hussain, whom they described as te fourth bomber sought by Britain in the botched bombings of three trains and a bus on July 21.
