Same men believed to be behind both U.K. plots

'No specific information'
Amid increased security at British airports, train stations and on city streets, two men attempting to buy gasoline canisters at an industrial estate were arrested in Blackburn, northern England, under anti-terrorism laws.

Cameron Mason, managing director of Barcode Logistics, a local business, said the men had arrived to collect about eight large gasoline canisters left outside a building.

British officials said it was too early to say if the men were linked to the London and Glasgow attacks.

Precautions
In Glasgow, a bomb disposal team carried out a controlled explosion on a suspicious car parked outside a mosque early Tuesday, calling it a precaution.

And part of London's Heathrow Airport Terminal 4 was closed while officials checked a suspicious package Tuesday, police said. The terminal later reopened.

The other suspects identified by police:

• Bilal Talal Abdul Samad Abdulla, 27, from Iraq. According to the British General Medical Council's register, a man named Bilal Talal Abdul Samad Abdulla was registered in 2004 and trained in Baghdad. Staff at Royal Alexandra Hospital near Glasgow said Abdulla was a diabetes specialist there.
• Mohammed Jamil Abdelqader Asha, 26. A Jordanian official said Asha was of Palestinian descent and carried a Jordanian passport.
  "I didn't even have the impression that he was religious," said Azmi Mahafzah, Asha's instructor at the University of Jordan medical school. "He is not a fanatic type of person."
• Marwa Asha, his wife, identified in news reports as a medical assistant. Her family denied she was a militant.

"Marwa is a very educated person and she read many British novels to know England better, a country she liked so much," her father, Yunis Da'na, told The Associated Press in Jordan.
