Police arrested a man in a house in Birmingham early this morning. He is suspected of being one of last Thursday’s (July 21) London bombers. Three other people were arrested in a seperate house in Birmingham.

They shot the bomb suspect him with a Taser stun gun.

A suspect package was also found and, on the advice of the Army, local residents evacuated. BBC News this morning say the package was blown up in a controlled explosion.

Two other men were arrested in Lincolnshire on a train heading for King’s Cross. They were picked out by two off-duty police officers. Apparently they began their journey in Newcastle.

In other news, Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Ian Blair told Channel 4 News that police have dealt with 250 suicide bomb scares since the July 7 bombings.

In the Brazilian hometown of Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, shot 8 times last week after being mistaken for a suicide bomber, relatives and friends have staged a protest march, demanding arrests be made.

Police are still speculating there may have been a fifth bomber after a bomb was found in a telephone box near Little Wormwood Scrubs on Saturday.

Speculation as to the bombers’ next moves is rife. Possibly they will carry out another attack. Or, bowing to the inevitable - that they’ll be tracked down - they may hole themselves up somewhere, wait for the security forces to arrive and then go out in a blaze of glory, as per the Madrid bombers.
