LONDON, July 12 -- Four young British citizens of Pakistani origin 
appear to have carried out last week's bombings of the London transit 
system, blowing themselves up along with their victims in what would be 
the first suicide attacks in Western Europe, British police said Tuesday.

<>In a day of fast-moving developments, heavily armed police backed by 
army units raided six houses in and around the northern city of Leeds 
seeking evidence, arrested a relative of one of the suspects and carried 
out a controlled detonation of explosives at one of the sites.
