Police looking for 3 more terror suspects
Guardian:
Police and the security services are still hunting for at least three members of an al-Qaida linked terrorist cell suspected of attempting to commit mass murder using car bombs in London and Glasgow. Counter-terrorism officers believe the cell has at least eight members, linked by a controlling "Mr Big".We are getting more hints as to the amount of evidence accumulated to date and it appears to be significant. The Brits continue their strange habit of not offering descriptions of the three people they are looking for. I guess we can assume they are sentient humans who are bipeds.
The hunt led police to make five arrests at the weekend and raid a number of addresses across England and Scotland, amid fears that there could be another attempted attack. There were reports that two of those arrested are doctors.
The Jeep attack on Saturday at Glasgow airport, a day after two failed attempts to bomb targets in central London, triggered a decision to take the UK to its highest state of alert.
The incidents were linked after a strong forensic connection was found between the Jeep rammed into the terminal at Glasgow airport and two Mercedes car bombs found in London. The Jeep was packed with petrol and gas canisters similar to those found in the London vehicles, which also contained nails. Counter-terrorist sources indicated that the link was much broader and that the individuals suspected of involvement in the London and Glasgow terrorist acts were connected.
Detectives have a good picture from cameras of the person last seen in the Mercedes car parked outside the Tiger Tiger club in London, the Guardian understands. Breakthroughs and forensic clues are emerging almost hourly as CCTV footage is examined. An official police source said "lots of clues" had been found and "rapid progress" made. But only luck and a flaw in the devices avoided substantial loss of life.

One was in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, and the other in Houston, near Glasgow airport. Daniel Gardiner, director of the property agency that let the Houston house, said police had interviewed his staff about the tenants. "They [the police] seemed to know an awful lot about these people," he said.
