London - Police on Thursday arrested nine men at two properties in south London in connection with the investigation into last week's attempted London transport bombings, the police said.
Six of the men were arrested at one property and three at another in the area of Tooting, the police said.
Police sources told AFP none of the nine were believed to be the three bombers still on the run after last Thursday's botched attacks in London.
The Metropolitan Police said the suspects, arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000, has been taken to a central London police station for questioning.
A spokesperson said searches of the addresses were ongoing.
The arrests came as detectives were questioning one of the would-be London bombers captured during a dramatic day of raids and arrests across the country on Wednesday.
Police confirmed on Wednesday night that the man captured in an armed raid in the central English city of Birmingham was suspect Yasin Hassan Omar as officers arrested three women in London on suspicion of harboring offenders during another raid linked to the investigation.
Omar, a 24-year-old Somali, was subdued with a Taser stun gun when officers stormed the house where he was hiding in Birmingham.
