Two more held over bomb attacks
A forensic team was at the scene of the Glasgow Airport attack
Detectives investigating the failed car bombings at Glasgow airport and in London have arrested two more men, Strathclyde Police have said.
The arrests of the men, aged 25 and 28, take the number of people held over the attempted bombings to seven.
Houses are being searched in Houston, near Paisley, Merseyside, and in Staffordshire, where one of two doctors arrested in the inquiry lived.
Police are linking the failed bombings and the UK remains on high alert.
Police said the arrests of the two men, who are not believed to be of Scottish origin, were as a result of "intensive police operations in the Paisley area last night".
Assistant Chief Constable John Malcolm, of Strathclyde Police said: "This continues to be a fast-moving investigation and I am grateful to the public for their perseverance and support during these difficult times.
He added: "I would continue to urge people to be vigilant."
On Monday, Staffordshire Police closed off Priam Close, in Bradwell, not far from Chesterton, where one of the people being held, Dr Mohammed Asha, lived.
Dr Asha, who worked as a junior doctor at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, was arrested on the M6 in Cheshire on Saturday night.
Extra delays
The terror alert level was raised to critical - its highest level - after a Jeep Cherokee, loaded with gas cylinders, crashed into the doors of Glasgow airport's main terminal and burst into flames on Saturday afternoon.
Detectives are trying to trace the movements of the green Jeep Cherokee - registration L808 RDT - which crashed into the airport.
The attempted attack in Paisley came a day after two Mercedes containing petrol, gas cylinders and nails were found outside a nightclub in London's Haymarket and in a nearby street.
The devices failed to detonate.
Commuters and air travellers were being warned to expect extra delays to journeys on Monday, with extra police patrols and vehicle searches taking place at airports and transport hubs.
