It is unclear how the couple — or even the house being raided — may be related to the investigation. When ITV reached out to the pair the couple declined to comment.
After the detonation on a packed subway car at Parsons Green Tube station in southwest London on Friday, hundreds of soldiers were deployed at strategic sites around the city to free up police to hunt those behind the incident — the latest in a series of attacks in the country’s capital.
Photos of the incident shared on social media showed a bucket on fire in the subway car, with wires apparently protruding from the plastic bag the container had been carried in.
ISIS made a claim of responsibility for the attack, without providing any supporting evidence.
On Sunday, Rudd also repeated British officials’ displeasure at President Donald Trump’s comments on the case, telling the BBC that Trump’s tweet in the immediate aftermath of the attack was “pure speculation” and unhelpful to an ongoing operation.
Trump had suggested that the “loser terrorist” responsible for the attack “are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard” — another name for London’s Metropolitan Police Service.
His remark drew a rare rebuke from British officials, who consider the U.S. their closest ally.
Prime Minister Theresa May said on Friday: “I never think it’s helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation.”
