Evacuation As Bomb Experts Called To Mosque

Bomb disposal experts have been called to a mosque in Wolverhampton after police received information about a "possible device".

Wolverhampton Central Mosque and a large area around the building have been evacuated while a search is carried out.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said the evacuation was necessary "to ensure the absolute safety and security" of the local community.

Information about the possible device, which police believe may have been activated last month, was uncovered as part of an investigation into recent attacks near mosques in Walsall and Tipton.

Earlier, two men aged 25 and 22, both of Eastern European origin, were arrested in Birmingham in connection with the blasts.

They were held under the Terrorism Act on suspicion of being involved in the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism.

The discovery of the device in Walsall led to an evacuation of more than 100 people from their homes.

Residents reported hearing a loud bang but no one was injured and the device - the remains of which were found in a nearby alleyway - caused minimal damage.

The suspected nail bomb blast in Tipton, around eight miles from Walsall, took place on July 12 outside the Kanz Ul Iman Masjid mosque.

Bomb experts carried out a controlled explosion on part of the device, which officers said was designed to cause "serious harm".
