SHOCKED Muslim leaders have vowed to ensure that suicide bombers are not bred in Bucks.

Senior Wycombe Mosque members said they would work closely with young Muslims to make sure they are not lured towards extremism.

The moves come following the news that the men responsible for the London bombings were British born.

Qadeer Ahmed, who is director and treasurer of the mosque in Jubilee Road, High Wycombe, said: "We can't just say it happened there West Yorks and it won't happen here.

"We have to engage with the youth and the mosque to make sure we monitor who comes in and goes. Fortunately we don't have problems at the moment."

On Wednesday, Buckinghamshire became the latest target for anti-terrorist police hunting those responsible for the atrocities.

Officers swooped on a home in Northern Road, Aylesbury, and carried out a detailed forensic examination after executing a search warrant issued under the Terrorism Act 2000.

A police spokesman said the investigation at the address just 18 miles north of High Wycombe could take some time to complete.

Mr Ahmed, 35, said members of the mosque were "coming to terms" with the news that the London bombers were British Muslims, but said they are not typical of the majority of worshippers.

And although there has been no such activity in High Wycombe, Mr Ahmed said leaders could not back down or be complacent about the possibility of extremism in the future.

He said: "We are in complete and utter shock to think they the suspects were born and bred here. We ourselves are looking at ways of working with police if we see anything."

Four mosques in the district have jointly condemned the bombings and said they have nothing to do with the teachings of Islam.

In a powerful letter to the Free Press Wycombe mosque leaders expressed their sorrow and disgust at the outrages and branded the bombers criminals.

Wycombe MP Paul Goodman said: "The main point is that the terrorists are trying to play a game by setting our communities against one other."

Meanwhile, those killed and injured in London last week were remembered at noon yesterday when the nation stopped for a two-minute silence.
