Do you think they would have made any arrests at all if not for the cameras around London?

BBC says:

Anti-terror police have arrested nine men in Tooting, south London.

The arrests came after three women in Stockwell were detained on suspicion of harbouring offenders, by police investigating the 21 July attacks.

A hunt for three of the bombers is continuing, following the arrest of suspect Yasin Hassan Omar on Wednesday. The identity of two men is unknown.

Raids happened at two addresses.

Six men were held at the first address and three at the second. Searches were being carried out at both locations.

All nine men were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 and taken to a central London police station for questioning.

It is not thought that any of the suspected bombers is among them.

The three women were arrested at about 1800 BST (1700 GMT) on Wednesday, after a raid at a flat at Blair House, close to Stockwell station in south London.

Scotland Yard said they were arrested "in connection with the ongoing investigations into the events of 21 July".

The front of the flat was later covered up with a blue tarpaulin and armed police were standing guard over the property as forensic tests continued.

Unlikely, certainly not as quickly.

The more the merrier! Let's hope these arrests are the "real deal" and settles things down in the UK.

I suspect a lot of this is motion, not progress. Oh, well, maybe the Brits'll get lucky.

FWIW, according to FNC this morning, Sir Ian Blair and the London Met asked ABC not to show that pic. ABC decided to show it. FNC agreed not to show it.

ABC thus provided aid to the enemy by allowing the enemy to know how much we know. Their access should be pulled, and their White House correspondent sent home.

My fear is, if the bombings were to happen here (U.S.) we would be looking for a white van when a early model Buick was used in the crime. The Brits are way ahead of where WE would be in a similar situation.

We can always count on ABC and Reuters to do their bit for the terrorists--but I wonder if Freepers should help them by posting these pics? The British authorities had asked that these pictures not be shown.

"FWIW, according to FNC this morning, Sir Ian Blair and the London Met asked ABC not to show that pic. ABC decided to show it. FNC agreed not to show it."

If I had previous known I would have never posted it. It was from 'Yahoo News Photos'.

I shall request the posting be deleted immediately.

Is there a government link which in the future will advise on these matters?
