LONDON: London's police chief warned yesterday that more cells of would-be bombers could strike as police made nine arrests in their hunt for the men behind failed attacks on the city's transport system last week.

Commissioner Ian Blair said the capital had been lucky that bombs on three underground trains and a bus had not exploded fully on July 21. Three men still wanted for the attacks remained a danger and might not be the only threat, he said.

"It does remain possible that those at large will strike again. It does also remain possible that there are other cells that are capable and intent on striking again," he told a police authority meeting.

Police arrested nine men in Tooting, south London, yesterday morning, bringing to 20 the number of people being held in connection with the failed July 21 attacks.
