Bomb officers carry out explosion

A controlled explosion has been carried out by army bomb disposal experts at a house in Leeds as part of the hunt for the London bombers.

The unoccupied house was one of six in the city raided early this morning following the attacks that have claimed at least 52 lives.

No-one has been arrested, but police are searching for explosives after the army operation allowed them access.

Up to 600 people have been evacuated from the area as part of the operation.

Police cleared people from homes as well as a mosque, a health centre and an old people's home.

Parts of Beeston and Holbeck, suburbs of Leeds, have been cordoned off, as well as a street in Dewsbury near Leeds.
