Contact the relevant authorities. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RETALLIATE!! Send all of 
your logs to the relevant people. I'm not sure who the CERT is in the UK but a
quick google will provide that info. Also if you can tell who the victims are
then it may be wise to contact them before they contact you, afterall they will
most likely just see the malicious traffic as originating from you. Trying to
trace back to the attackers home machine will be very difficult and will require
the co-operation of all the ISPs downstream between you and him/her.
