British police evacuate homes in Sunderland in fear of bomb
2008-02-17
(KUNA) -- British police announced on Saturday they have evacuated a number of houses in a suburb of the city of Sunderland, northeast England, following a report of a locally-made bomb that was found in a nearby house.

Police spokesman said in a press statement that the security elements found by accident yesterday a bomb during a routine search operation of a suspect who was arrested in the same day on another case. The police pointed out that the owner of the house was assisting the security elements in their investigations on this suspecious device, which seemed to be a locally-made bomb from the preliminary investigations. The nearby homes were evacuated to assure there was no more bombs there, the police said.

#2  I'm guessing that the owner's a Black Cats supporter.

#1  I guess we have to assume it was an Islamic terrorist since if it was anything else they would have provided at least some information about the motive and suspect.
