Two men held in Bristol after chemical found (U.K.)
20.07.07
Two men have been arrested under the Terrorism Act 2006, after police found two containers maked 'hydrogen peroxide', the chemical used in July 7 London bombings, at their flat. Police found the two 25 litre vessels in a flat they were searching as part of a drugs inquiry.
Officers from Avon and Somerset Police arrested the two men, one of Afghan origin and one from Somalia, on Wednesday evening after searching a flat in Stapleton Road in the Easton area of the city. "There is a heightened vigilance with the general terrorist threat and that has sparked our inquiry as to why someone would ostensibly be in possession of up to 50 litres of hydrogen peroxide," Steve Mortimore, Assistant Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Constabulary, said.
"If it turns out to be 50 litres of industrial strength hydrogen peroxide, then clearly there are some questions to answer," he said. "We've got one man from Afghanistan and one man from Somalia." The chemical had been taken away for forensic tests.
