Bombings police search seized car Police hunting the men behind the 21 July failed bomb attacks on London are searching a car for forensic evidence.
Security sources say it is thought one of the bombers could have been in the white VW Golf, seized in East Finchley, north London, at some point. It comes after officers searching bomb suspect Yasin Hassan Omar's former home in north London found a large amount of "possible explosives". Five people have so far been arrested in connection with the failed bombings. None of the five, all held under anti-terror laws, is thought to have been among the bombers. Police have closed a road in East Finchley while they examine the car. Security sources told BBC News they did not believe the vehicle was owned by any of the bomb suspects. Eyewitness Andrew Lim told BBC News police had cordoned off the road at about 1030 BST. He described seeing scores of police officers descend on the scene, along with fire engines and ambulances, while helicopters circled overhead. Meanwhile, the family of Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27 - also known as Muktar Mohammed Said - who police believe tried to blow up the no 26 bus in Hackney Road, Bethnal Green, have said they knew nothing about his involvement until they saw his picture on the news. In a statement, they said they were "shocked" when they saw it and immediately contacted police. Bomb disposal officers remain at the 12-storey Curtis House, in Ladderswood Way, New Southgate, which was stormed by armed police on Monday. Counter-terrorism sources have confirmed that a "large amount" of "possibly" explosive material had been found there, BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford says. Detectives have no evidence the bombing suspects have left the country and believe they may all be hiding in a safe house in the capital. London mayor Ken Livingstone told BBC News: "There's a very real risk they will have gone straight to a safe house and be just locked into it, perhaps with a lot of supplies there." He asked anyone who had noticed suspicious "comings and goings" at a house near them to come forward. Police have linked Omar to the attack on a Victoria line Tube train between Warren Street and Oxford Circus on 21 July. Enfield Council confirmed he had been a tenant at Curtis House and had been receiving £75 a week in housing benefit. Ibrahim, who police believe tried to blow up the Number 26 bus while it was heading towards Hackney, has been linked to the same address. Both men have been legally resident in the UK for more than 10 years, having arrived as child dependents of asylum seekers, according to the Home Office. Omar, 24, is a Somalian national who arrived in Britain aged 11 in 1992 and was granted exceptional leave to remain in the country, until May 2000 when he was granted indefinite leave to remain. Property searches Ibrahim is a naturalised British citizen who arrived in from Eritrea as a dependant in 1992, aged 14, and was granted exceptional leave to remain. In November 2003 he applied for naturalisation as a British citizen and was issued with his British passport in September 2004. According to Harrow Borough Council, someone called Muktar Mohammed Said attended Canons High School in Stanmore, Middlesex, between 1991 and 1994. Two other men 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. Police have been given extra time to question a man arrested in Tulse Hill, south London, on 23 July. He can now be held until 27 July, along with two men arrested in Stockwell on 22 July. The other two detainees were arrested in the New Southgate area on 25 July. 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.
