The actions came hours after detectives searched five residences elsewhere in Leeds in the first raids linked to the massive investigation of the London terrorist bombings. The Burley area where the explosion took place is a few miles from the Beeston area, where anti-terrorist police raided five homes early Tuesday as part of the investigation of the bombings that killed at least 52 aboard three London subway trains and a bus.
