Senior counter-terrorism officials now believe that the intelligence that led to the raid on a family house last Friday in search for a chemical device about to be used to attack Britain was wrong, the Guardian has learned.

Counter-terrorism officials were under pressure last night after days of meticulous search of the house in East London failed to produce anything to link the two men they arrested to a chemical plot.

...One official, with knowledge why police acted and what had been found from days of searching, said the intelligence had been acted on correctly, but added last night:

"There is no viable device at that house. There is no device being constructed, or chemicals. There does not appear to be anything there or anywhere else."
