<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Three men arrested under anti-terrorism laws after two home-made bombs were found at a suburban flat may have been working at nearby Gatwick Airport, local residents said today.
<snip>
Inspector Geoff Sharnock, of Sussex Police, said: "During a routine inquiry, two viable improvised explosive devices were found. They are effectively home-made bombs.

Mr Sharnock refused to say where the third man was arrested but added: "They are all European men. Bomb disposal experts have gone into the premises to make sure the devices were safe."
A spokesman for Sussex Police was unable to confirm the reports that the men were Portuguese.

"The search of the address is still continuing but it is too early to speculate the motives behind the incident or whether it is being linked to any specific target or organisation," he added. </font>
