The fourth and last London bomb suspect has been arrested in Rome, according to reports from Italy.
Reports claimed the Italian Interior Ministry said the man has been held in the city.
The man was named as Somali national Osman Hussein.
"The arrest took place a short while ago in Rome of the Somalian, Osman Hussein, a naturalized British citizen, the fourth attacker in the London on July 21," Italy's interior minister Giuseppe Pisanu said in a statement.
"The anti-terrorism operation is still ongoing, and has been conducted in the context of close international collaboration."
He gave no details of the arrest.
"This confirms not only the validity of our security system but also the efficiency of our international contacts," he added.
It is believed the suspect's brother lived in Rome.
Hussein is thought to have tried to explode a device at Shepherd's Bush Tube station.
This week police released a fresh picture of him, standing on the top deck of a London bus while fleeing from the scene.
The news comes after two of the other four suspects were arrested in a series of dramatic raids in London.
The other suspect, Yasin Hassan Omar, was captured in Birmingham earlier in the week.

Gli Italiani sono bravi!
Listening to a news station in London...interviewer referred to the bombers as terrorists "for want of a better word". What's with the reticence to use the term "terrorist"?
Perhaps the station would lose their licence if he used the words he really wanted to use?
NOT......."Mecca's Bombers",...????
I guess he wanted to just blend in with all the other Somalis and North Africans illegally in the country who sell brand name knockoff purses and stuff.
He could very easily...there are thousands of them there.
Maine (((Ping)));
Not to be "racist" or anything, but...
How many Islamic Somalians do we have here in Maine now?
Any updates of how many of them are working for a living now vs. living on the taxpayer's dole?
Are any Christian "refugees" ever invited to seek safe haven in this State, by any chance?
Now that JEB has promoted himself to "Emperor of Maine" by ignoring both the State Constitution as well as the will of the People and ruling by executive fiat, I wonder if he'll soon be elevated to the status of Mullah as well?
Now that you mention it, he might look rather fetching in a turban...
I wonder if he looked any thing like Einstein here.
Time for a different station methinks.
Experienced that in Ventimiglia..they have an enormous Swapmeet there every Friday. Wall to wall people and tons of North Africans selling fake Rolex and Louis Vuitton handbags.
Alright rack the Italians
So this same woman that was trying to find a better word for the term "terrorist" reads that someone called in that they would want to have dinner with George W Bush. Her comment? "Ecchhh!"
Explains a lot.
Daisy Sampson...she's about as entertaining as an ingrown toenail and about as irritating and painful.
