"British police have a 'crystal clear' picture of the man who drove the bomb-rigged silver Mercedes outside a London nightclub, and officials tell the
Blotter on ABCNews.com he bears 'a close resemblance' to a man arrested by police in connection with another bomb plot but released for lack of evidence."

UPDATE: There were two bombs, London officials now say.

The second car —
a blue 280E Mercedes — was announced only in mid-evening when police said they had found the vehicle in a car pound on up-market Park Lane after it had been towed away from the area near Piccadilly and
Trafalgar Square because of a parking violation hours earlier.

The car had been ticketed and towed away at around 3:30 a.m. — roughly two and a half hours after the discovery of the first vehicle, the police said...

“The vehicle was found to contain very similar materials to those that have been found in the first vehicle in Haymarket earlier today,”
Mr. Clarke said.

  • “There was a considerable amount of fuel and gas canisters, as in the first vehicle. There was also a substantial quantity of nails. This like the first device, was potentially viable and was made safe by explosives officers. The vehicles are clearly linked.”*
