Detective Assistant Commissioner John McDowall said: "While it is more than three years since the attacks, this remains a painstaking investigation, and as we have previously said we are determined to identify anyone else who knew what was being planned." | |
He said an extensive search was being carried out of the flat to see if there were any links with those responsible for the 7 July attacks. | |
"I would urge anyone who has suspicions about activity in the flat either in the months leading up to the 7/7 attacks or afterwards, to contact police. | |
"Any information, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, could be important," he added. |
