With police intensifying their hunt for four would-be bombers who tried to attack London's transport system last week, Blair also sought agreement from political leaders on tougher anti-terror legislation. On Tuesday, police said they might have found material for making explosives at a house connected to one of the suspects wanted over attempts to set off bombs on three underground trains and a bus on July 21. They also seized a car. Officials said two of the suspects being hunted had lived legally in the country for 10 years. Yasin Hassan Omar came from Somalia and Muktar Said-Ibrahim from Eritrea. The failed bombings came exactly two weeks after suspected Islamist militants killed themselves and 52 other people in a similar attack on the capital's transport system. Blair said: "Not one inch should we give to these people ... we shouldn't even allow them a vestige of an excuse for what they do." He told his monthly news conference: "September 11 for me was a wake-up call. Do you know what I think? A lot of the world woke up for a short time and then turned over and went back to sleep again." Blair also insisted his decision to go to war in Iraq offered no justification for Islamist militants' actions. BIGGEST MANHUNT Police, eager for Londoners to use their eyes and ears to help in the country's biggest ever manhunt, believe the would-be bombers may have gone to ground in a safe house or are being harboured by sympathisers. Former Scotland Yard police commander Roy Ramm said: "There is quite a degree of planning gone into these attacks and probably escape routes and safe houses form part of those plans. "There are four men out there who have already shown their determination to detonate bombs. The police will want to get to them very quickly," Ramm told Sky News. The four men who carried out the July 7 attacks -- which officials have linked to al Qaeda -- were all British Muslims, three of them of Pakistani origin. The investigation suffered a setback at the weekend when police said they had shot a Brazilian man in error after he was mistaken for a suicide bomber. Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was shot in the head after being chased onto an underground train by undercover police. Blair, eager to maintain political consensus on any new anti-terror legislation, called in opposition leaders on Tuesday to plot the best way forward. But Conservative leader Michael Howard and his Liberal Democrat counterpart Charles Kennedy voiced reservations about police demands to hold suspects for up to three months without charge. All parties are keen to allow phone tap evidence to be admissible in court but security agencies fear that could blow the cover of their intelligence sources.
