One of Bradford's MPs has echoed West Yorkshire's Chief Constable's calls for calm in the city following the death of a man in a police operation.

Yasser Yaqub died after being shot as he sat in a car on the junction 24 slip road in Huddersfield, during a pre-planned firearms operation last Monday night.

It prompted angry scenes in Bradford the following day when a police car was targeted.
