Every police force across the UK is now involved in the investigation into the alleged plot to blow up transatlantic airliners, police have said.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) said all forces had sent, or were sending, officers to London to help with the investigation.

A spokeswoman said: "It`s routine in a big investigation that ACPO coordinates mutual aid for forces.

"All forces across the UK are providing officers to help with the operation by the Metropolitan Police."

It was reported today that police investigating the alleged plot had found a suitcase containing components needed to make an explosive device.

The discovery is thought to have been made in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, where specialist officers are combing King`s Wood for traces of explosives or evidence of explosive tests, the BBC reported.

Scotland Yard has refused to comment on the reports.
