Misinformation

My brother-in-law has just arrived in London from the states and is certain that he saw news reports that two unexploded devices were found on thursday, leading to the possibility of forensic evidence.

He also seems to think there have been a number of racially incited backlash attacks on muslims in the UK.

He is fairly certain that both of these reports were on CNN. I have searched and can find no mention of them at all. Can anybody verify that these news stories were actually reported? Or is my brother-in-law a complete crackhead?

UPDATE:

UK Muslims 'feel more vulnerable'

Police chiefs say community relations in the UK are "reassuringly calm" in the wake of the London bombings, although several forces have reported attacks on mosques.

The Muslim community is feeling increasingly vulnerable and concerned, a monitoring team from the association found. But it also claimed there had been no upsurge in violence and abuse directed at minority groups.

However, since attacks on London, incidents reported by individual police forces have included arson attacks on mosques in Leeds, Belvedere in Kent, Birkenhead in Merseyside and Telford in Shropshire.

Acpo (The Association of Chief Police Officers) said these attacks had caused "little damage".
