Sam Jones, 33, a resident of the 12-storey housing block said she had seen
Ibrahim carrying a large quantity of an unidentified chemical into the
building with another man three or four weeks ago.

Ms Jones, who lives on the third floor, said: "They were carrying a huge
number of small cardboard boxes into the lift. You could see boxes inside.
There were about 50 in all.

"I asked them what was inside and they said it was chemicals for stripping
wallpaper."

Residents said Ibrahim had been a regular visitor to the block in the past
two years, staying for weeks at a time. They said he shared the flat with
three Somalians, who played football in a nearby park once a week.

The one-bedroom flat at 58 Curtis House was occupied by a man in his 30s of
Somali background who called himself George. He is also known as Ismail. He
was said to have helped Ibrahim carry the cardboard boxes containing the
chemicals.

Ms Jones said: "We all know him as George. He is a friendly, ordinary bloke.
He always talks to the kids around here."

She added that she had last seen George on Friday but she not seen Ibrahim
for about two weeks. Ms Jones said she had seen a third man of Somalian or
Ethiopian appearance, who had been staying at the flat in recent weeks,
clearing up a large amount of white powder that had been spilt in the
hallway outside the flat.

Residents said the first they had known of the link between their flats, a
high-rise block in a 1970s council estate, and the failed bus bomb was when
they received a knock on the door at 1.15am yesterday. Tania Wright, 32, who
lives on the eighth floor, below the raided flat, said: "I opened the door
and there was a policeman in a peaked cap who said words to the effect there
were terrorists in the building and we had to get out as soon as possible.
As we went down the stairs you could see them all getting ready to go in. At
the top was a Swat-style team with helmets and guns."
