Almost 200 hydrogen peroxide bottles were found in bins at the "bomb factory" of the alleged 21 July terror plotters, a court heard.

They were discovered when police searched seven large communal bins at Curtis House, in New Southgate, London.

Fingerprints of some of the alleged bomb plotters were found on the bottles, Woolwich Crown Court heard.

Six men deny a charge of conspiracy to murder by carrying out a series of suicide bombings on the Tube.

The explosions would have been caused by home-made bombs placed in rucksacks, it is alleged.

All six - Hussein Osman, Ramzi Mohammed, Adel Yahya, Muktar Ibrahim, Manfo Asiedu and Yassin Omar - also deny a charge of conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life.

Mr Omar lived at the flat in New Southgate.

The jury was told how fingerprints belonging to Mr Osman, Mr Omar, Mr Ibrahim and Mr Asiedu were found on the bottles, as well as Mr Asiedu and Mr Omar's DNA.

Police also discovered a plastic container with a white substance in it.

According to Max Hill, prosecuting, the container was "identical" to the one used in the device of the fifth alleged bomber, Mr Asiedu, who is said to have lost his nerve shortly before the attack was due to take place, dumping it instead in parkland.

The trial continues.
