July 7 search warrant executed
|
Police investigating the July 7 London bombings have executed a search warrant.
Scotland Yard said detectives raided a one-bedroom flat in Shepherd's Lane, Harehills.
Fifty-two people were killed when suicide terrorists exploded four bombs on three Tube trains and a bus in 2005.
Detectives from the Met's anti-terror unit raided the flat, in a predominantly Asian suburb, around two miles from Leeds city centre.
Sources said the raid followed a tip-off from a member of the public.
Detective Assistant Commissioner John McDowall made a further appeal for information, saying the force continued to search for anyone who knew of the bombers' plans.
He said: 'While it is more than three years since the attacks, this remains a painstaking investigation, and as we have previously said we are determined to identify anyone else who knew what was being planned.
'As a result of our inquiries we are carrying out an extensive search of the flat to determine whether there are any links to the people responsible for the 7/7 attacks.
'I would urge anyone who has suspicions about activity in the flat either in the months leading up to the 7/7 attacks or afterwards, to contact police.
'Any information, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, could be important.'
