All four suspected bombers died during the London terror attacks, according to police sources.
Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said three bombers died in separate Tube attacks and one was killed in the No 30 bus blast.
Detectives believe all four were British citizens, Brunt said.
It was still not clear if the attackers were all suicide bombers.
This follows witness reports of a man on the bus in an agitated state constantly looking into his bag before the blast in Tavistock Square.
Brunt said police had made a number of arrests in Leeds today in relation to last Thursday's bombings.
They were also poised to make arrests in London, he said.
The news comes as armed police search a house in Leeds after the Army used a controlled explosion to get in.
Hundreds of people had already been evacuated from the area around Hyde Park Road, Burley.
No one was in the house at the time but armed officers had been used as a precaution.
Five other homes in Leeds had earlier been raided by police hunting the terrorists behind last week's attacks.
Neighbours at one of the addresses said a 22-year-old man who lived there with his family had gone missing.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said the raids were "directly connected" to Thursday's atrocity.
Hours later, police evacuated Luton railway station and car park to recover a vehicle suspected of being linked with the terrorist attacks.
Detectives believe all four were British citizens, Brunt said.
B(F)S! Blatant propaganda... British citizens, perhaps. Of Muslim origin... To be certain!
It's not at all hard to believe. Remember, Pakistan (through India) is a part of the commonwealth so it's pretty easy for Pakistanis to get in to England. I agree with you though. They might be Brits but they're almost certainly radical Muslims.
I wonder if the 'suicide' bombers knew they were to be expended? Remember many of the 9/11 participants thought they were just hijacking jets.
Easy enough to rig the timers so the bombers thought they had another 15 minutes to ditch the bombs and get off the trains.
Reduce the Death Count by 4 - we don't include vermin...
British Muslim citizens. Oh, brother, how soon will we hear the inevitable whining excuses and "oh woe is we poor practitioners of the religion of pieces" garbage from the so-called "moderate" Muslims of Britain?
I swear, I believe the catterwalling and half-hearted condemnations followed by a big "but" and finger-pointing at Jooos that comes from Muslims after one of there own does something muderously evil (and is A-OK with Mohammad and the moon god) is a pathetic ploy to detract from the actual event and its true cause: Radical Islam!!!
Medved said today that they'll each enjoy 72 white raisins
in the afterlife.
Are those the sugar dipped ones?
Amen. The so-called "moderate" logical-thinking Muslims are those who haven't researched and studied their own religion. The blueprint for sowing bloodshed, mayhem, lying to, looting of, raping, enslavement and murder of the hated infidel is written of and heartily condoned within the pages of the "holy" Qu'ran.
I read Mohammad's ravings and twisted plagerism of the Good Book years ago--before 9/11--and thought it was scary stuff. After 9/11, I knew who and what was the real enemy. Anyone who believes otherwise hasn't studied Islam and its path of conquest through treachery and bloody Jihad.
Interesting!!! I suspected as much.
Maybe the one guy on the bus figured it out and that's why he kept looking in there nervously!
But there's not much motivation for doing it that way. On 9-11 only one or two hijackers per aircraft needed to know the actual plan, the others just being muscle who didn't know they were committing suicide as well as hijacking. But if you are using a timer, why sacrifice an asset you might be able to use again? Using a human bomb makes for more reliable performance, IE, no timer to fail, no possibility that the "package" will be found or moved before detonation, etc, etc, so there is motivation to use "martyrs" to deliver the bombs.
