NB there is already a thread on the topic - http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123473

It might be best to keep things to one area.

A suspect package found on Saturday in north-west London may be linked to Thursday's attacks, police believe.

The package was found by a member of the public in bushes in Little Wormwood Scrubs on Saturday morning.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Explosives officers attended the scene. An initial examination suggests that the object may be linked to devices found at four locations in London on July 21."

Police said it would be subject to "detailed forensic analysis".

Also there, one line on the raid in Streatham Hill...

Currently suffering "security alerts": Brixton, Fulham Broadway

Currently suffering "customer incident": South Ruislip

The Mile End thingy was described by tfl as a "customer incident" - euphemism for "someone having hallucinations of smoke but we'd better treat it seriously anyway"?

Police hunting four men who attempted to bomb London's transport system last week said on Saturday they might have found a fifth device abandoned in the northwest of the city.

"An initial examination suggests that the object may be linked to devices found at four locations in London on July 21," police said in a statement, adding the object was found in bushes in the Wormwood Scrubbs area of the city.

When asked if that indicated the discovery of a bomb, a police source said: "I wouldn't dissuade you from thinking that."

Four bombs were partially detonated on three underground trains and a bus on Thursday, killing no one, but causing chaos exactly two weeks after suicide bombers killed 52 London commuters.

Police name suspects.

Anti-terror bosses believe 27-year-old Muktar Said Ibraihim may have tried to set off a bomb on the number 26 bus in the Bank area.

Yasin Hassan Omar, 24, is believed to have attempted to set off a similar device on the Victoria Line near Warren Street station.

Police think the bombers may be preparing to strike again while being harboured at safe houses in the capital.

Senior officers said there was no indication they had fled Britain after the failure of their original mission.

I know its best to supply links, but like when I started the 'Stockwell man innocent' thread, I cant as yet provide a link. (Sorry)

I have no link for this because I cant find anything about it on the net, but a friend of mine was at Kings cross on a stationary underground train today around midday when suddenly armed police swarmed onto the platform and evacuated the carriage in front of her. They then evacuated her carriage, and as she walked past the other carriage she saw that the lots of armed officers had an asian looking man on the floor - presumably under arrest.

Anyone else heard anything about this?

She then went to Victoria and said there were police 'everywhere'
