All four failed London bomb suspects are reported to be in custody following armed raids in the UK capital and Rome. Two London arrests are thought to be the men wanted for the 21 July Oval Tube and No 26 bus attacks. A third bomb suspect was already being held. The fourth suspect, wanted for the attempted Shepherd's Bush Tube attack, has been arrested in Rome and named as Somali-born UK citizen Osman Hussain. Police arrested three people in raids in Notting Hill and north Kensington. Officers have also arrested two women at Liverpool Street station. Police are still questioning Yasin Hassan Omar, wanted over the Warren Street Tube attempted attack, who was arrested in Birmingham on Wednesday.

BBC crime correspondent Neil Bennett said he had been told that two of the men arrested in Friday's raids were believed to be wanted in connection with the failed bomb attacks. They are Muktar Said Ibrahim - suspected of trying to bomb a bus in Shoreditch - and a man, who police have not yet named, wanted over the attempted Oval Tube bombing. Scotland Yard said they believed the arrests to be highly significant and described Friday as their "best day yet" since 21 July.
