Timeline: London bombings developments http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4694069.stm A day-by-day look at developments following the London bombings:
TUESDAY 26 JULY Police find a large quantity of "possible" explosives in a flat in New Southgate, north London, where bomb suspect Yasin Hassan Omar lived. They also cordon off a white VW Golf in East Finchley. Security sources said it was believed to have been used by one of the suspected would-be bombers on 21 July. Police are given extra time to question a man arrested in Tulse Hill, south London, on 23 July. He could now be held until 27 July, along with two men arrested in Stockwell on 22 July. Meanwhile, the family of Muktar Said Ibrahim issue a statement expressing their shock that he has been named a suspect in the attempted bombing of the No 26 bus in Hackney Road on 21 July. MONDAY 25 JULY Muktar Said Ibrahim <http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41341000/jpg/_41341095_suspect2_ibrah im203.jpg> Police are seeking Muktar Said Ibraihim over the 21 July attacks Police say the device found at Little Wormwood Scrubs, in west London, was a bomb similar to those used by the 21 July attackers, prompting speculation a fifth bomber may still be at large. They release details of the plastic food containers used for all five devices. They also name two of the suspected failed bombers as Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, also known as Muktar Mohammed Said, and Yasin Hassan Omar, 24. Ibrahim is being linked to the attempted bombing of a Number 26 bus and Omar to an attack on the Tube between Oxford Circus and Warren Street. Armed officers raid a property in Ladderswood Way, New Southgate, north London, which Ibrahim is thought to have visited recently. Police also reveal that two more people have been arrested, taking the total held to five. Tony Blair expresses regret over the death at Stockwell Tube of Jean Charles de Menezes, as his inquest hears that he was shot eight times - seven times in the head and once in the shoulder. SUNDAY 24 JULY Police carry out a controlled explosion on the suspicious package found in Little Wormwood Scrubs. Police are granted extra time to question the two men arrested in Stockwell and reveal they have arrested a third man under the Terrorism Act, in Tulse Hill, south London. Scotland Yard Commissioner Sir Ian Blair apologises to the family of Mr Menezes and Home Secretary Charles Clarke expresses his regret. Families of the victims of the 7 July attacks visit the scenes to pay tribute to their loved ones. SATURDAY 23 JULY The man shot dead at Stockwell Tube was not connected to the 21 July attacks, police say. They name him as Charles de Menezes, 27, a Brazilian working as an electrician in London. Stockwell and Warren Street stations reopen and the train on which a bomb failed to detonate properly at Shepherd's Bush station is moved. Police say a second man was arrested in Stockwell, south London and officers raid a flat in Streatham Hill, also in south London. Police say a suspicious package found in bushes at Little Wormwood Scrubs, north-west London may be linked to the attacks. A possible link between those behind the 21 July London attacks and a whitewater rafting course attended by two of the 7 July bombers in north Wales is investigated. FRIDAY 22 JULY A man is shot dead by armed officers at Stockwell Tube station as police continued to hunt four would-be bombers. Stockwell Tube station <http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41331000/jpg/_41331573_stockwell_203. jpg> Passenger Mark Whitby tells BBC News he saw a man of Asian appearance shot five times by "plain-clothes police officers" with a handgun. "I saw the gun being fired five times into the guy - he is dead," he said. Passengers were evacuated from the Northern Line station in south London. Police arrest a man in Stockwell in connection with Thursday's failed attacks. THURSDAY 21 JULY London's transport network is again plunged into chaos with stations cleared after attempted bombings on Tube trains at Oval, Warren Street and Shepherd's Bush Underground stations and on a number 26 bus in Bethnal Green. The devices only partially exploded but Met Police Sir Ian Blair says they were designed to kill people. No-one is injured in the incidents but they cause disruption on three Tube lines and around stations across the capital. A massive hunt begins for the bombers who fled when their bombs failed to explode properly. WEDNESDAY 20 JULY Several people are arrested in Pakistan, the country's High Commissioner to the UK confirms. Maleeha Lodhi tells BBC Radio 4's Today Programme: "A number of people have been taken in for questioning because obviously we want to make sure we get to the bottom of this as much as you do." TUESDAY 19 JULY The train carriage in which seven people died at Edgware Road station is removed from the track. A Leeds chemistry student, arrested in Cairo as part of the investigation, has nothing to do with the bombing, the Egyptian government says. Magdi Mahmoud al-Nashar, 33, was detained by Egyptian police on the request of the British government on 15 July. But an interior ministry report "made clear there was no link between Magdi al-Nashar and al-Qaeda or the bombings", a government spokesman says. MONDAY 18 JULY Pakistani officials confirm three of the four London suicide bombers visited Pakistan last year. Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer arrived and left together, and spent three months there. Hasib Hussain flew in last July for an unknown period. The British Muslim Forum issues a religious decree - or fatwa - offering condolences for the attacks. The fatwa states that Islam condemns violence and forbids suicide bombings, and is to be read at mosques on 22 July. SUNDAY 17 JULY Police release a CCTV image of the four London bombers together at Luton station as they set off on their way to London. The bombers (left to right): Hasib Hussain, Germaine Lindsay (dark cap), Mohammad Sidique Khan (light cap) and Shehzad Tanweer <http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41316000/jpg/_41316795_londonbombers_ 203.jpg> The four men were pictured entering Luton rail station at 0720 BST It also emerges that Edgware Road bomber Khan was investigated by MI5 last year but not deemed a threat. Khan was subject to a routine assessment because of an indirect connection to an alleged terror plot. The families of three of the bombers release statements describing their shock at their relatives' involvement. The death toll rises to 56, including the four bombers. SATURDAY 16 JULY The death toll rises to 55 overall, a figure which includes the four bombers. FRIDAY 15 JULY Egyptian chemistry student Magdi Mahmoud al-Nashar, 33, who had been sought by police in connection with the blast, is arrested in Cairo. The 33-year-old Leeds University chemistry PhD student denies any link to the bombings. Police continue to search homes in Buckinghamshire and Leeds, including one linked to al-Nashar. THURSDAY 14 JULY A week on, a two-minute silence is held in memory of victims. Bomber Hasib Hussain <http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41316000/jpg/_41316769_hussaincctv_sp lit_pa203.jpg> Hasib Hussain's family reported him missing after the blasts Police sources believe the fourth bomber was Jamaican-born Lindsey Germaine, of Bucks, thought to have carried out the King's Cross attack. Scotland Yard releases an image of bus bomber Hussain, caught on CCTV as he went through Luton station on his way to King's Cross. Police continue to hunt for a fifth man linked to the bombings who they say left the UK before they took place. WEDNESDAY 13 JULY Two of the bombers are named by police as Shehzad Tanweer, 22, of Beeston, Leeds, and Hasib Mir Hussain, 18, also of Leeds. Tanweer is thought to be responsible for the Liverpool Street blast and Hussain the Tavistock Square. A third, Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, of Beeston, linked to the Edgware Road attack is named by newspapers. The fourth bomber's identity is unclear. Anti-terror police also raid a house in Aylesbury, Bucks. TUESDAY 12 JULY Detectives say they believe the bombings were carried out by four British-born men in what are possibly the country's first suicide attacks. Security sources say at least three of the men are dead after belongings were found at the scenes. The details emerge as explosives are found in Leeds and Luton after a series of raids. MONDAY 11 JULY The first victim of the London bombings is named as the confirmed number of dead reaches 52. SUNDAY 10 JULY Police appeal to the public to hand over mobile phone images or photographs taken after the attacks. Sixty-five people remain in hospitals, many having had operations after losing limbs and suffering burns. SATURDAY 9 JULY The three Tube train bombs exploded within 50 seconds of each other, at about 0850 BST, police say. It was previously thought they had taken place over a longer time period. The bus bombing took place at 0947 BST, it is also revealed. FRIDAY 8 JULY Sir Ian Blair says there is "absolutely nothing" to suggest the attacks were the work of a suicide bomber or "to rule it out".

Another explosion goes off on a packed number 30 double-decker bus in Tavistock Square. The known death toll at the end of the first day is 37 with more than 700 injured.
