The conviction of three Muslim men who plotted deadly bombings raises fears in the papers - among authorities.

Sources tell the Telegraph that there may be up to five potential suicide bombers at large in the UK - recruited by the group but never arrested.

The jury at Woolwich Crown Court was unable to reach verdicts on four men and that, says the Times, is a severe blow to the anti-terrorist campaign.

The indecision raises questions about the public perception of the terror threat.

For the Independent, the men were the terrorists who changed air travel forever - but despite security checks, it says, people still keep flying.

 Housing woes

The US government's nationalisation of two giant mortgage companies prompts the Daily Mail to ask how Gordon Brown will save the UK's housing market.

The Guardian attacks Mr Brown who, it says, has not addressed the reality of Britain's position.

The paper says Britain shows no signs of the recovery predicted for America.

Other papers carry details of how the Conservatives might address that problem in government.

The Financial Times reports that George Osborne is considering committing to cuts in public spending.

The Times says that figures close to Mr Osborne are positioning themselves to ditch their commitment to Labour spending plans if they come to office.

The Sun says the move will be cheered by the Tory faithful, but strike fear into the unions and town hall chiefs.

Rising prices

Food prices are still rising, but a report in the Telegraph suggests supermarkets are cashing in.

Its front page says major stores are increasing their prices faster than the producers are, and spending the surplus on marketing rather than price cuts.

The back pages of the later editions record Andy Murray's defeat in the final of the US tennis open.

The papers all agree on the might of Roger Federer: a "genius" says the Express; "awesome" says the Mirror.
