BRITAIN'S FBI have been brought in to help with the manhunt for suspected chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi, as it was claimed last night he was in a relationship with the mother who was badly injured.

National Crime Agency officers are helping to track down Afghanistanborn Ezedi, 35, who is described as having very "significant injuries to the right side of his face".

The search operation entered its fourth day yesterday after a woman, 31, and her two daughters, aged three and eight, were attacked with what is believed to be a corrosive substance in Clapham, South London, at 7.25pm on Wednesday.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "The investigation team has received dozens of calls and is working with a large number of police services and other agencies.

"These include British Transport Police, Northumbria Police, the National Crime Agency and Transport for London."

Yesterday, an unnamed relative of Ezedi said: "His injury is very bad and he needs medical attention.

"I will bring him in by myself if I have to."

His brother Hassan also stated he would hand him in if he knew his whereabouts.
