Police said the nine did not include the three suspected bombers they are still hunting. They arrested one of the four prime suspects in a dramatic dawn raid on Wednesday.

They hope the arrest of Yasin Hassan Omar, 24, will provide a breakthrough in the search for the three other suspects.

Blair said his force was reviewing 15,000 closed circuit television tapes, had taken 1,800 witness statements and received 5,000 calls to its anti-terrorism hotline.

Omar, who came to Britain from Somalia as a child refugee, was wanted in connection with an attempted attack at London's Warren Street underground station on July 21.

Armed police used a stun gun when they arrested him in a raid on a house in the central English city of Birmingham.

Police were under pressure to exercise caution after they shot dead Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes in London on Friday after mistaking him for a suicide bomber.
