Armed police swoop in 'significant' anti-terror raids
12/07/2005 - 13:37:35Armed police in Britain took up positions outside a house in Leeds today during a series of anti-terror police raids.
Officers were seen outside the property in Hyde Park Road, Burley, minutes after what was reported to be a controlled explosion.
The incident came as police raided a series of homes in the West Yorkshire city during an operation that Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said was directly linked to the London bombings.
Sir Ian described the operation as “significant”.
Neighbours at one of the addresses reported that a 22-year-old man who lived there with his family had gone missing.
