Reaction - Leeds: There was disbelief last night among residents of a quiet Leeds street at the possibility that one of the London bombers may have lived among them.
One man, who lives in Colwyn Road in the run-down Beeston area of the city, said: "No, not here. This is just a normal community where people do normal things; there's lots and lots of families, ordinary families."
Many residents gathered behind the police tape which has sealed off a 50-yard stretch of the road around No 51 since early this morning.
Police and white-suited forensic officers last night continued to work at the semi-detached property, which neighbours say is knocked through to No 49 to form a bigger house.
The white pebbledash house is one of a series of run-down semis strung along one side of the typical south Leeds street, which are mainly owned by Asian families. Opposite are rows of bay-fronted brick terraced houses. The street is just off the main Leeds to Dewsbury road, about two miles from the city centre and a stone's throw from one of the main police stations in West Yorkshire.
Local residents said one of the people living at 51 Colwyn Road was 22-year-old Shahzad Tanweer. Some people said Mr Tanweer had not been seen for a number of days.
But his friend, Mohammed Answar (19) said there was no way he could have been involved in the London atrocities. "It's impossible. It's not in his nature to do something like this," he said. "He's the type of guy who would condemn things like that. My heart is with the guy wherever he is."
Mr Answar said his friend had lived in the Beeston area all his life and had recently completed a sports science degree, but he would not say where. He said they played cricket together only last week.
Mr Answar said: "A lot of people know him. We're all brothers. We all look after each other as brothers." Another friend, Azzy Mohammed (21), said of Mr Tanweer: "He's the kind of person who gets along with anyone. His sense of humour is very good. He's a sweet lad." Mr Mohammed said his friend was a good Muslim.
Sajaad Hussain, of Colwyn Road, Beeston, said he had grown up with Shahzad Tanweer.
He said: "I knew him. He's a very nice lad, a very nice lad. We were brought up together on the same street. He was just a nice lad, you know, kept himself to himself.
People living close by said that there was no extremism or fundamentalism in the area, insisting most families were "good Muslims".
One young man said: "There's lots of young families and people getting on with their lives here. The mosque here is a normal mosque and everyone gets on."
A young white man at the cordon said: "It's the young white lads round here that cause the problems. There's a huge problem with drugs."
