Two men arrested on suspicion of being involved in supplying illegal firearms in connection with the Islamist murder of a British soldier in London last week were released on bail today.

Scotland Yard is questioning Michael Adebowale, 22, who was shot at the scene on London terror attack, which resulted in the murder of soldier Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich, south-east London.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, who was also shot and injured by police in the incident on May 22, spent a second day in custody at a London police station on Saturday after being discharged from hospital yesterday. He is also being held on suspicion of attempting to murder a police officer in relation to the attack on May 22.

Adebowale, has been charged with the soldier's murder and appeared before Westminster magistrates on Thursday.

Police investigating the Woolwich attack have also arrested a 42-year-old man in north London and a 46-year-old man in east London on suspicion of involvement in the supply of illegal firearms.
