Search continues at house used as bomb factory

POLICE yesterday continued to search a house used as an operational base for terrorists involved in the London bombings, and materials used in the attacks may have been stored there.

Greg Mulholland, MP for Leeds North West, said the house in the Hyde Park area of the city was not used as a family home. Up to 600 people were evacuated from the vicinity of the house on Tuesday morning before police and army bomb disposal experts used a controlled explosion to gain access to the property.

Speaking about the terrorists, Mr Mulholland said: “It seems that this is an operating base for them rather than any of their homes. It’s not a question of this being a family home. I understand this is where the material may have been stored.”
