Britain will not yield despite a sustained threat from people associated with al-Qaeda, Gordon Brown has said after three terror attacks in the UK.

The prime minister was speaking to the BBC after Saturday's attack on Glasgow Airport was linked to the two car bombs found in London's West End on Friday.

Five people have been arrested over the attacks and police are searching houses in the village of Houston near Glasgow.

Two were held at the airport, two later in Cheshire and a fifth in Liverpool.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said the British public would not be "intimidated or let anyone stop us getting on with our lives".

Speaking after the government's emergency response unit, Cobra, held its fourth meeting in three days, she said a formal statement will be made in the Commons on Monday.
