Police investigating the Liverpool taxi explosion have extended a cordon around a property in the Kensington area of the city to allow them to assess “materials” they found during their search on asylum accomodation in Sutcliffe Street.
A Royal Logistics Corp bomb disposal vehicle has arrived along with a fire engine and residents living within the cordon were told they were not able to return home.
It comes as investigators continue to work on piecing together a motive for the blast. Earlier on Wednesday, the head of Counter Terrorism Policing North West said Emad al-Swealmeen had been buying parts for his homemade device since at least April.
Meanwhile, the Liverpool taxi driver who reportedly averted disaster by locking bomber al-Swealmeen in his vehicle is said to have spoken to counter terrorism officers for 90 minutes at his home in the north of the city.
