LONDON, June 30 (RIA Novosti) - London police found another car full of explosives Friday, several hours after the first one had been defused, the head of Scotland Yard's counter terrorism branch said.

Peter Clarke said the Mercedes, which had been parked illegally in the West End, was carried to an impound lot near Hyde Park. Policemen found a large amount of fuel canisters, nails and a detonator in the car, as in the first vehicle.

The first car, also a Mercedes, was found in front of a nightclub near Piccadilly Circus early Friday morning. Clarke said the bomb could have caused carnage if it had exploded.

"These vehicles are clearly linked," the official said.
