Counter-terrorism sources confirmed that a "large amount" of "possibly" explosive material had been found there, he said.

Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, who police believe tried to blow up the Number 26 bus while it was heading towards Hackney, has also been linked to the same address. Both men have been legally resident in the UK for more than 10 years, according to the Home Office. Two others are being sought in connection with failed bombings - one near Shepherd's Bush, west London, the other near Oval station, south London. There are also concerns that a fifth bomber is on the loose after a device was found in Little Wormwood Scrubs, west London, on Saturday. Addresses searched Police have arrested two men near to the New Southgate address - bringing the number held in connection with the attempted bombings to five. None of the five, who are all being held under anti-terror laws, are thought to be bombing suspects. CCTV footage of Oval bombing suspect Police believe this man tried to bomb a Tube at Oval station A sixth man arrested as part of the inquiry was not linked with the 21 July attacks and has been charged with wasting police time.
