Enlarge imageLONDON (Reuters) - Police have arrested a third man in connection with attempted bombings on London’s transport network last Thursday, a police spokesman said on Sunday.
The man was arrested in the Tulse Hill area of south London on Saturday night under anti-terrorism legislation, the spokesman said. Two other suspects remain in custody, he added.
"He was arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism," the spokesman said.
"He has now been taken to a central London police station for further questioning."
A police source said the man was not thought to be one of the four prime suspects being sought over the failed bombings, which came exactly two weeks after suicide bombers killed 52 people in an attack officials have linked to al Qaeda.
