#3 Neighbours at one of the addresses reported that a 22-year-old man who lived there with his family had gone missing. No one was in the house at the time but armed officers had been used as a precaution.

I thought it was a little odd to evacuate 500 people from the neighborhood if this was to be a surprise attack. I hope someone has a plan to catch the little monster.

#5 Police have confirmed that the terrorist involved with the bus bombing died at the scene (suicide or accident not clear as yet). The identity of the bomber led police to raid the houses in Leeds.

Concurrently Luton railway station has been evacuated whilst police investigate a car in the car park. A controlled explosion has been carried out on the car.

#6 The UK police and justice almost never give names of criminals, suspected or proven. Newspapers seem to abide by these rules.

#7 Quite right, Kalle. The idea of anyone trying to disguise the backgound of the suspects is just plain ludicrous.
