British police have arrested a person in West Yorkshire in connection with the London bombings. The man will be transferred to London for questioning. Six houses were raided in Leeds and Luton.
The police conducted controlled explosions to gain access to a house in Leeds, and three controlled explosions were made on a car in Luton Station's carpark.
More than 600 people were evacuated near the six houses raided in Leeds and the police has seized either explosives or devices used to make bombs.
