London bombs 'set off by mobiles'

The bombs killed 56 people in London on 7 July
The bombs that killed 56 people in London on 7 July were probably detonated using mobile phones, New York police officials have said.
They were made in Leeds from household chemicals like hair bleach and stored in a powerful refrigerator, they said.

Commissioner Ray Kelly was briefing New York security industry bosses on information given to NYPD officers monitoring the investigation in London.

Scotland Yard has refused to comment on the US claims.

The NYPD said UK authorities were happy for them to release details.

Commissioner Kelly said: "Initially it was thought that perhaps the materials were high-end military explosives that were smuggled - but it turns out not to be the case.

"It is more like these terrorists went to a hardware store or some beauty supply store."

The NYPD said investigators believed the bombs were made using a peroxide-based explosive that can be made from hair bleach and other ingredients.

The substances used in the failed 21 July bomb attacks were "similar but not necessarily the same", a spokesman said.

The bombs were transported to the outskirts of London in drink coolers stashed in the boot of two cars and detonated by mobile phones that had alarms set to 0850 BST, the officials added.

Deputy commissioner of counter-terrorism Michael Sheehan said: "In the flophouse where this was built in Leeds, they had commercial grade refrigerators to keep the materials cool."

The NYPD was troubled by information it had received about the bombers' links to "organisations" he added.

"We know those same types of organisations that they are affiliated with are very much present in New York City.

"That is something we are studying very, very carefully.

"This could happen here."

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said the department had been granted clearance from British authorities to reveal the details.
