Police silent on 'bomb kit' report Philip Johnston / London Telegraph | August 18 2006 Police investigating the alleged plot to blow up airliners over the Atlantic have reportedly found a suitcase described last night as a potential ''bomb kit." There was no confirmation from Scotland Yard of a BBC report suggesting the bag contained items that could be used to construct a device able to bring down a plane. Detectives have been given another seven days to question 21 suspects arrested in London, the Midlands and in the Thames Valley. They have five days in which to detain a further two before applying for an extension. No one has been charged. advertisement The BBC reported a source as saying that they had found a case which contained "everything you would need to make an improvised device". Earlier this week, John Reid, the Home Secretary, said that police had reported the discovery of ''substantial material". • A man, aged 47, and a woman, 44, both originally from Algeria, are being held under the Terrorism Act after being arrested at Holyhead, Anglesey in north Wales. One of them arrived on a ferry from Dublin last Friday. Clive Wolfendale, the deputy chief constable of North Wales, emphasised that the arrests were not directly linked to the alleged airports plot.
