British police have a "crystal clear" picture of the man who drove the bomb-rigged silver Mercedes outside a London nightclub, and officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com he bears "a close resemblance" to a man arrested by police in connection with another bomb plot but released for lack of evidence. Officials say the suspect had been taken into custody in connection with the case of al Qaeda operative Dhiren Barot (pictured), who was convicted of orchestrating a vehicle bomb plot involving targets in London, New York, Newark, N.J. and Washington, D.C.
Officials say a surveillance camera caught the suspect "staggering from the Mercedes" shortly after parking it outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub.
U.S. and British law enforcement officials tell ABC News it is increasingly clear Friday's bomb plot in London involves multliple vehicles, and is described by a senior official as a "terror plot involving lslamic extremists."

British authorities were seeking three men Friday after police defused two car bombs that they said could have caused significant injury or loss of life in London.
The three men are believed to be from the Birmingham area, a center of radical Islamic unrest in Britain, U.S. officials who had been briefed on the developments told NBC News.

LONDON, June 29 (UPI) -- Investigators Friday said there was no intelligence in advance suggesting another major terrorist attack was likely in London.
The threat level before a car bomb was discovered outside a nightclub was "severe," the second highest level, The Times of London reported.
It has been at "severe" since August, except for a brief period when it was raised to "critical" when a group of suspects were charged with a plan to use soft-drink containers to bring explosives on planes at Heathrow International Airport.
Police were going through footage from security cameras trying to identify the man who drove the Mercedes to Piccadilly and left it outside Tiger Tiger Nightclub
. Closed-circuit TV footage of the four suicide bombers who killed 52 people on a bus and three subway trains on July 7, 2005, was discovered after the fact, helping investigators identify them and trace their routes.
Cameras set up to enforce London's new congestion pricing scheme for vehicles may also be helpful.

Tyburn’s triple-tree could also be put back to good use. They could swing aloft twenty-four terrorists at a time, “as an example to encourage the others...”
Over the centuries Society has become wussified: bring back the gibbet, bring back the rope. We recoil at the idea of Gitmo: our forefathers would never have considered it an option, but would have swung the lot of ‘em. They would laugh at us spending squillions keeping lowlife vermin alive in relative comfort. And they would have reminded us about old-fashioned values such as parsimony and Justice swift and sure and final.
LOL!
I suspect that the car was stolen.

‘Crystal Clear’ Picture of Suspect”
Guy in the ‘Crystal Clear’ Picture:
D-mmit, why hasn’t the ACLU prevented this invasion of my privacy!?!?
His fellow terrorist: You idiot! It’s the AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union
and we’re in the U.K.!!!
No, it was the Judean People’s Front...
He looks just like the wheel chair bound, elderly white woman that I saw searched at the airport.?! Wake up America!
