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.
