Three July 7 suspects questioned
Police are to begin questioning three men arrested by anti-terrorism police in connection with the July 7 bombings in London.
Two suspects were detained at Manchester airport after they were stopped from boarding a flight to Pakistan. The third man was detained at an address in Leeds.
A number of premises in Leeds have been searched as part of the ongoing police operation.
Police have confirmed that the men have been detained under anti-terrorism legislation and have 28 days to question the men. The three are being held at the maximum security police station in Paddington Green.
The Home Secretary John Reid said it was important not to get into speculation and said that police would release information "as is appropriate."
However, he said the operation and the arrests were part of the "very serious and continually ongoing operation."
The arrests are understood to be the result of a lengthy police investigation into the 2005 attacks in which four suicide bombers killed 52 commuters in London.
