Police today outlined the last known movements of four men linked to the bombings in London.

Three of the men were from West Yorkshire and they all met on the journey to the capital last Thursday.

They arrived at King’s Cross Station just minutes before the explosions, according to Scotland Yard.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, of the Anti-Terrorist Branch, said property from three of the men was found at bomb sites but it was unclear whether they all died in the explosions.

He said: “The investigation quite early led us to have concerns about the movements and activities of four men, three of whom come from the West Yorkshire area.

“We are trying to establish their movements in the run-up to last week’s attack and specifically to establish if they all died in the explosions.”

All four of the men arrived in London by train on the morning of Thursday July 7, he said.

CCTV footage showed them arriving at King’s Cross station shortly before 8.30am.

One of the men from West Yorkshire was reported missing to the central casualty bureau by his family shortly after 10am last Thursday.

Police confirmed that during the journey to London, he had been joined by the three other men.

Mr Clarke said that personal documentation bearing the names of three of the four were found close to the seats of three of the explosions.

Property of the man who had been reported missing by his family was found on the number 30 bus in Tavistock Square.

Further property in the name of a second man was found at the scene of the Aldgate bomb.

Documents in the name of a third man were found at both the sites of the Aldgate and Edgware Road bombs.

Police said there was “very strong forensic and other evidence” that one of the men from West Yorkshire died in the explosion at Aldgate.

A vehicle was also found at Luton Station car park. Police did not say whether it played a part in the four suspects’ journeys.

:: One man has been arrested in West Yorkshire and will be brought to London to be questioned.
