Are last night's would-be bombers in London related to the Harrow gang?

This ever-connecting mosiac, is all I have to say.

ABC News blog, The Blotter, reports:

British police have a "crystal clear" picture of the man who drove the bomb-rigged silver Mercedes outside a London nightclub, and officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com he bears "a close resemblance" to a man arrested by police in connection with another bomb plot but released for lack of evidence.
The bomb plot being referred to here is the Harrow Street gang. This gang plotted to blow up all sorts of places in Britain and the U.S. The ringleader, one Dhiren Barot, a Hindu convert to Islam had close enough ties to Al Qaeda that he worked directly with KSM, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks and after KSM was arrested in 2003, he was able to call a meeting with the Al Qaeda leaders in South Waziristan.
