Glasgow - The investigation into three failed attacks in London and Glasgow is "extremely fast-moving", police anti-terror chief Peter Clarke said on Sunday.
He added that the links between the attacks were becoming "ever clearer".
"The investigation into these attacks is extremely fast-moving," he said, updating reporters on the probe into a failed double car bombing in London on Friday and a blazing Cherokee Jeep attack on Glasgow airport on Saturday.
"It is no exaggeration at all to say that new information is coming to light hour by hour," he added.
Clarke also appealed for members of the public to come forward with more information, revealing that police officers were receiving an average of 100 phone calls every hour.
The green Cherokee Jeep - vehicle registration L808 RDT - was now a key part of the investigation, he said.
"The links between the three attacks are becoming ever clearer," Clarke said.
"I am confident that in the coming days and weeks we will be able to gain a thorough understanding of the way in which they planned their attacks and the network to which they belong."
Clarke also told reporters that it was "too soon to draw any conclusions about whether there was or wasn't intelligence about these precise attacks".
In the Glasgow incident on Saturday, two men drove a flaming jeep at high speed into the front of Glasgow airport's main terminal. That came after two unexploded car bombs were discovered in London on Friday.
