Overseas developments Friday related to the investigation of last week's terrorist attacks:

___

- In London, anti-terrorist police arrested three men and one woman in connection with the terrorist attacks.

- In Germany, investigators named a Yemeni man as their second suspected link to the terrorists who attacked New York and Washington, revealing that they now believe the plot reached back at least to 1999.

- In France, police detained seven people in connection with an investigation into alleged plans to attack U.S. interests in France.

- In Israel, a senior intelligence official said Israel was aware a few months ago that Osama bin Laden was planning a large-scale terror attack, but did not know what his targets would be.

- In Poland, officials were investigating evidence that people suspected of terrorist activities passed through Poland, but would not speculate about any links to last week's attacks.

- In Mexico, authorities were combing through hotel registration documents and tracing the activities of an "unusually high" number of Arab guests who stayed at Pacific coast resorts between July and five days before the terrorist attacks.
