Police investigating the failed bomb attacks in London on July 21 arrested four men at two addresses in Birmingham today.
The raids were thought to be of major significance, and there were unconfirmed reports that one of those arrested was one of the four men police suspect of attempting to carry out last week's attacks.

They were being questioned today along with two men arrested last night in Grantham, Lincolnshire, and another man detained under the Terrorism Act at Luton Airport, where he was due to fly to Nimes in southern France.

A witness claimed that one of the men arrested in Birmingham looked like Yasin Hassan Omar, 24, who police suspect of trying to detonate a bomb on a tube train at Warren Street station.
