3 questioned in London bombings freed
The widow of the ringleader of the 2005 London transit bombings was freed without charge Tuesday after police questioned her.
Hasina Patel, 29, wife of Mohamed Sidique Khan, was arrested May 9 along with three men.
Two of the men were also released without charge: a 30-year-old from West Yorkshire, the district in northern England where Khan and two other bombers lived, and a 22-year-old from Birmingham, police said.
The third man, a 34-year-old, was still being questioned on suspicion of aiding the bombers.
Fifty-two commuters were killed and hundreds were injured in the July 7, 2005, attacks on three subway cars and a double-decker bus.
In April, police charged three people, all from West Yorkshire, with conspiring with the attackers, the first criminal charges filed since the bombings.
Searches have been carried out in connection with the arrests at two apartments in Birmingham and at five addresses in West Yorkshire.
