Bomber's widow held in anti-terror raid

The widow of July 7 suicide bomber Mohammed Sidique Khan was among four people arrested in a series of anti-terror raids in England today.

Five houses in West Yorkshire and two flats in Birmingham were cordoned off and searched by police.

Unarmed police carried out the raids which are connected to the 2005 London bombings in which 52 people were killed.

The three men and one woman were arrested just after 7am today and taken to a central London police station to be interviewed by anti-terror officers.

They are being held on suspicion of the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000.
