The son of hate preacher Abu Hamza has been arrested over a suspected burglary attempt.
Mustafa Kamel, 18 - one of hook-handed extremist Hamza's seven children - was one of two youths arrested after a man caught someone breaking into his home.
The householder saw the suspect climbing in through a window at the rear and managed to chase him off.
Police suspect Kamel was not the youth breaking in, but was acting as a look-out while another man perpetrated the crime.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "The male resident challenged the suspect, who made off down an alleyway.
"The resident followed and called police on his mobile.
"Officers responded and arrested two men, both 18, on suspicion of attempted burglary."
It is understood a laptop was found discarded in bushes after the arrests in Chelsea.
Kamel, who lives with Hamza's second wife Nagat Mostafa in Shepherd's Bush, was released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Amr Abdel-Sama, 18, was charged with burglary yesterday at West London magistrates' court and bailed until 1 July.
A police source told The Sun: "Kamel didn't break into the house.
"But it is suspected he may have been part of a joint enterprise because he took off with the other youth.
"Checks on his background established that he is the son of Abu Hamza."
He added: "The joke is that according to the extreme version of Sharia law which Hamza preaches, anyone caught stealing can have a hand cut off."
Hamza, 49, is currently serving a seven-year sentence at high-security Belmarsh Prison for incitement to murder and racial hatred, and is facing extradition to the US on terrorism allegations.
