LONDON -- Police yesterday sought a U.S.-educated chemical engineer thought to have made the bombs for last week's terrorist bombings, along with another suspect with reported links to al Qaeda whom they think masterminded the deadly attacks.
Authorities also broadened their investigation to include a macabre hypothesis that the four suicide bombers sought to form a burning cross in London's subway -- with the King's Cross station as the center -- to symbolize an Islamic strike at the heart of a Christian nation.
Police sources named Magdi el-Nashar, an Egyptian chemical engineer who once studied at North Carolina State University and more recently lectured at Leeds University as the suspected bomb maker.
