British police are searching a house in Leeds linked to al-Nashar, although he wasn’t formally named as a suspect, says the BBC.

“British police had said they wanted to question Mr al-Nashar, who completed a PhD in chemistry at Leeds University,” says the story.

The FBI was also in the extensive worldwide manhunt for al-Nashar, or El Nashar, because he attended an American university, says CTV.

North Carolina State spokesman Keith Nichols, “said a graduate student by the name of El Nashar studied chemical engineering at the university, for a semester beginning in January 2000,” it says.
