#2 Rooters: Bomb disposal officers have taken away a suspicious substance found during a raid by officers on a house in Birmingham on Thursday but police said they did not believe it had any terrorism connection.

Officers sealed off a street and evacuated homes in the Bartley Green area of the country's second city after the discovery was made by officers carrying out a raid executed under a non-terrorism related warrant.

A spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said the cordon was later lifted and a substance taken to a laboratory for tests. It was not yet known what it was. "We do not think this is linked to a terrorist act," the spokeswoman added. "If we find a substance that cannot be identified, but could contain an explosive substance, then we automatically implement our emergency planning procedures.

She said the area was now returning to normality.

#3 Nothing to see here ... move along. Trust us, don't defend yourselves - that might provoke your attacker ... just move along and be prepared to roll into a fetal position if the youths express their well-justified anger at your insensitivity .....
