(BBC) Counter-terrorism officers have traced a relative of the Liverpool bomber and are due to speak to them, a police chief has said.
Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson said Iraq-born Emad Al Swealmeen had been officially named as the taxi passenger killed in Sunday’s blast.
Searches were continuing at Liverpool Women’s Hospital and two homes where the asylum seeker had lived, he said.
His home prior to the blast was the “main focus” of searches, he added.
Christian convert Al Swealmeen was a passenger in a taxi when his homemade device exploded shortly before 11:00 GMT on Remembrance Sunday outside the maternity hospital.
