Terrorism search goes on at Leeds flat

Oct 9 2008 by Neil Atkinson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

POLICE investigating the July 7 London bombings are still searching a Leeds flat, three years after the atrocity.

Anti-terrorist officers have now been at the property for more than 24 hours and have been showing neighbours photos of the four bombers.

The Metropolitan Police said detectives raided the one-bedroom flat in Shepherd’s Lane, Harehills, Leeds.

Local people said officers arrived at about 7am yesterday and showed householders in the street photos of the bombers, Mohammed Siddique Khan, of Thornhill Lees, Shehzad Tanweer, Hasib Hussain and Jermaine Lindsay, who lived in Rawthorpe.

The four died when they exploded four bombs on three Tube trains and a bus in July, 2005, killing 52 people.

Investigators do not believe any of the bombers, whose backgrounds have been thoroughly researched, ever lived at the flat.
