LEEDS, England, July 14 -- Police hunted Wednesday for a fifth 
conspirator in the London transit system bombings last week and raided a 
home in Aylesbury, a suburb north of the capital, as the investigation 
widened into how the attacks were planned and who might have inspired them.

Detectives interrogated for a second day a man from Leeds described as a 
relative of one of the bombers and searched for explosives in houses 
where he had lived, officials said. Police continued to comb through a 
house where they found a small cache of explosives Tuesday in another 
part of Leeds, an industrial city about 200 miles north of London that 
investigators believe was home to at least three of the four bombers.

<>In the United States, U.S. law enforcement authorities were 
questioning Richard C. Reid, a British citizen serving a life sentence 
for attempting to blow up an American Airlines jet in 2001, for any 
leads he might have on the bombers, a U.S. intelligence source said, 
speaking on condition of anonymity.
