The family home of a British teenager killed fighting in Syria is one of four houses searched by counter-terrorism police investigating his death.
Abdullah Deghayes, whose uncle was a detainee at Guantanamo Bay, died in the war-hit country last month after leaving the UK in January.
The 18-year-old's two brothers Jafar and Amer also travelled to Syria, according to their father Abubaker Deghayes.
Abdullah's father, Abubaker Deghayes Amer had suffered a bullet wound to his stomach in the same battle in which his sibling was killed, Mr Deghayes added.
The homes that were raided were all in the Brighton and Hove area and included Abdullah's property in Arundel Drive East in Saltdean, near Brighton.
He was the nephew of Omar Deghayes, who was held by the US as an enemy combatant at the Guantanamo detention camp from 2002 to 2007 after being arrested in Pakistan.
Sussex Police said the latest searches were linked to inquiries into Abdullah's death and whether any terrorism offences had been committed.
The force added no arrests were anticipated on Tuesday.
Omar Deghayes, Abdullah's uncle, was once held in Guantanamo Bay Chief Superintendent Nev Kemp, Brighton and Hove divisional commander, said: "This is a necessary part of our continuing work to safeguard communities locally and nationally, including those who have links to Syria.
"Every step is being taken to ensure the operation is carried out sensitively, thoroughly and professionally.
"We understand what a distressing time this is for the family and we do not want to cause further distress to them.
"I can give local people an assurance that this is not in response to any immediate threat to local communities and anyone who does have any concerns can contact our local officers for further reassurance."
