Detectives hunting the right-wing extremists behind three London nail-bombings have arrested a man and seized explosive materials in an early morning raid at a house in Hampshire. Three people have now died after the third of those attacks, the bombing of a gay pub in the Soho area of London. Twenty people are still in hospital and five are in a critical condition.
Last night's blast has been linked to earlier explosions in Brixton and Brick Lane. The right-wing group White Wolves says it carried out the attacks. Five people have now been arrested in connection with the attacks. Police say that four of them have been excluded from their enquiries.
Police forensic scientists and the anti terrorist squad are still examining the scene of last night's explosion. The blast has been linked to earlier explosions in Brixton and Brick Lane. London's Police Commissioner, Sir Paul Condon, has revealed that his officers had been warning the gay community that they could be a target.
Police have been trying to establish whether there were any closed circuit TV cameras in the area that may have captured the bomber on film. A far-right group, the White Wolves, which has already been linked to two recent racist nail-bomb attacks, has claimed responsibility for the pub bombing. The group is an off-shoot of the infamous Combat 18 group.
The device exploded at the Admiral Duncan in Soho, a pub frequented by the gay community. Crime prevention officers had even visited the Admiral Duncan pub in the last couple of days. There is now speculation that the Jewish or the Irish community in London could be the next target.
