    LONDON,July 28 (Xinhuanet) -- Nine people were arrested Thursday morning by police in anti-terror raids in south London in connection with last week's attempted attacks on London.

    Six were arrested in a house and three at a kebab restaurant, Sky news reported. They were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000and taken to a central London police station for questioning.

    However, the nine did not include any of the three men suspected of perpetrating the failed bombings in London last Thursday who are still on the run.

    Officers also arrested three women in London on suspicion of harboring offenders during another raid linked to the investigation of the July 21 bombings.

    The news comes as police continue to question Yasin Hassan Omar, the only one of the bombing suspects so far apprehended. He is also the first of the alleged July 21 suicide squad suspects tobe caught.

    Omar, a 24-year-old Somali, was captured in an armed raid in Birmingham on Wednesday morning by police with a Taser stun gun.

    Shortly after he was arrested, three other men were held in a raid two miles (about 3.2 km) away from Birmingham.

    A new image of one of the July 21 suspects was released Wednesday. The police were calling on the public to come with information about the man.

    Detectives fear the suspects still on the run, including Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, may have more explosives.

    Meanwhile, police have launched their most extensive ever deployment of officers on the UK's rail network in an effort to reassure passengers. Enditem
