 attempted murder and explosives offenses in London include Ibrahim 
 Muktar Said, an Eritrean-born British citizen who arrived in London 
 with his parents at age 12 in 1990, and Yassin Hassan Omar, 24, a 
 Somali refugee who arrived with his sister when he was 11. 
  
 But there were connections to cities besides London. One of the men 
 accused in the July 21 attacks, Mr. Omar, was arrested in Birmingham, 
 where a Somali minority has built in strength as Somalis migrate to 
 Britain from other European countries like the Netherlands where, as 
 refugees, they acquired citizenship enabling them to crisscross 
 European frontiers at will. 
  
 Some of the people accused of helping Mr. Osman - who told British 
 authorities he was a Somali when he came here from Italy in the 
 mid-1990's - were seized in Brighton, on the south coast. 
  
 The ties between the July 21 attackers and their forebears' homeland 
 seem to have been looser and less of an influence on their behavior 
 than those of the July 7 attackers, with their travel in Pakistan, 
 where religious extremism is strong. 
  
 "There's no link between them and Somali society whatever," Mr. Nur, 
 the Somali social worker, said of the July 21 group, expressing a view 
 echoed by Eritreans and Ethiopians. "Whatever developed in them was 
 here in the United Kingdom."
