About 300 anti-terrorism police officers, some in biochemical suits, raided a house in East London and arrested two men, wounding one in the shoulder.

British media reported that authorities suspected that a chemical weapon had been built at the house. Police said officers did not discover any device.

It was unclear whether the wounded suspect had been armed. He was taken to a hospital. The second suspect was being questioned. Neighbors said they were brothers, both Muslims born in Britain.
