LONDON, England (CNN) -- A seventh man has been arrested by anti-terrorism police investigating the discovery of the highly toxic poison, ricin, at a London address.
The 33-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday and is being held at a police station in London. On Wednesday, police began searching for at least three more suspects believed to be linked to the discovery of the poison.
Six Algerians are already being questioned by anti-terror police after raids on two addresses in north and east London unearthed small traces of the toxic substance, which is twice as deadly as Cobra venom, as well as ingredients and equipment for making it.
All ports and airports have been put on high alert by police.
