    Just came on the TV. One policeman has been killed, and four others injured during a raid on a property in Manchester.

    Apparently they were tipped off by the Metropolitan Police (London), and officers with chemical suits have been seen entering the building.

    Speculation that there are links to the Ricin discovery last week is rife. Three men have been arrested under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.

    Mr Blair said: "It is an appalling tragedy and wicked in the extreme."

    Ya man, wicked.
