A short, sharp shock, they'll never do it agin' http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGAA97MDETC.html Scotland Yard Gets More Time to Questions Terrorism Suspect The Associated Press Published: Oct 29, 2001 LONDON (AP) - Scotland Yard said Monday it has gained court permission to continue questioning an Egyptian man suspected of involvement in terrorism. The 38-year-old man, identified in press reports as Yasser al-Sirri, was arrested at his home in London last week. Tuesday would mark the end of the seven-day period permitted by the Terrorism Act for questioning a suspect without bringing charges, but authorities were granted more time to question al-Sirri. Al-Sirri runs a center that acts as a public relations contact for Islamic fundamentalist groups, and recently circulated a statement by Mohammed Atef, third-ranking leader of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network. Al-Sirri has declined to discuss how he obtained that statement.
