One of the four suicide bombers who killed at least 52 people in the London terror attacks was born in Bradford, it emerged today.

University-educated sports science student Shehzad Tanweer, 22, is believed to have lived in the city until his family moved to Leeds.

He was born at St Luke's Hospital on December 15, 1982.

Sources said there was "strong" forensic evidence linking him to the blast on the Underground train near Aldgate.

Two other men from West Yorkshire and one from Luton are also believed to have died triggering the explosions on two other Underground trains and a bus.

Tanweer's home - a large house, converted from a pair of semi-detached properties, in Colwyn Road, Beeston, Leeds - was one of a number of addresses in West Yorkshire raided yesterday by anti-terrorist officers supported by West Yorkshire police.

He had two sisters and lived with his father Mohammed and mother Parveen.

One national newspaper reported today that his father, who bought the property in 1990, runs the South Leeds Fishery fish and chip shop nearby.

Friends said Tanweer had travelled to Afghanistan and Pakistan in the last six months, prompting fears he might have attended an Al Qaida training camp.

Today Khadim Hussain, the President of the Council for Mosques in Bradford, said he was shocked by news that the bombers were from the local communities. "The fact they are from Yorkshire is shocking news and it is bad news for the Muslim community," he said.

"We are all very upset about what happened in London. It was a crime against humanity and the perpetrators need to be brought to justice."

He stressed that the majority of Muslims, many now in their third generation in this country, were "peaceful people".

"This is our home and no-one wants to see their home damaged and innocent people killed and injured."

He said he did not believe a serious backlash would happen.

"There are one or two hotheads around but the majority of people are very peaceful."

He said talks with the other community leaders and the police were scheduled for this week.
