London - A bomb appearing to have similarities with the four used by the bombers in the deadly July 7 attacks in London was found in a park in the west of the city, British police confirmed on Monday.
Initial forensic examination of the four partially detonated bombs has revealed clear similarities with yet another bomb which was found by a member of the public last Saturday, July 23," said Peter Clarke, head of London police's anti-terrorist branch.
In another development police identified two suspects by name who allegedly staged failed attempts to blow up a London bus and a subway train last week, releasing two new photographs of them.
Clarke told a news conference that Mukhtar Said Ibrahim was the name of the man who tried to blow up the bus and Yassin Hassan Omar was the one who tried to bomb a subway train.
The pair are among four suspects the police have been looking for since last Thursday's near-simultaneous attacks on three subway trains and a bus in London. <>
Clarke said Ibrahim, 27, was believed to have recently visited an address in north London, which police were searching on Monday.
Ibrahim, a heavy-set, dark-skinned man with a fu manchu moustache and beard, appeared smiling in the photograph released by the police.
