DAR AL HARB-U.K.: A MEMBER OF THE 'RELIGION OF PEACE" & CONTROLLED EXPLOSIONS

Cops carry out controlled explosion

BRITISH police have carried out a controlled explosion at a house in Bristol after arresting a man on suspicion of terrorism offences.

Avon and Somerset Police said they evacuated 30 people from 14 homes early today in the suburb of Westbury-on-Trym before bomb disposal officers carried out the explosion.

Assistant Chief Constable Jackie Roberts said it followed yesterday's arrest of a 19-year-old from the area under anti-terrorism laws.

"This is likely to be a prolonged, complex and sensitive inquiry which may take some time,'' she said.

The arrest followed a "number of covert inquiries'', she added, without elaborating.

Police are questioning a 19-year-old Muslim man after carrying out a controlled explosion in his home.


Around 30 people were evacuated from houses in Comb Paddock, a quiet cul-de-sac in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol, as officers searched the property after a "covert" operation prompted by intelligence.

A bomb disposal team carried out a controlled explosion in the property, a nondescript 1950s red brick terraced house, at around 2am.

Neighbours who were not evacuated said they heard a loud blast like a gas boiler blowing up during the night.
