Forgotten men who became footsoldiers of Al-Qaeda

By Zahid Hussain in Islamabad, Daniel McGrory, Sean O’Neill and Stewart Tendler

"Three of the London suicide bombers visited Pakistan together in the months before the attacks for terrorist training and ideological instruction."

"Senior Pakistani security officials told The Times that Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer and Hasib Hussain — all from Leeds — met known al-Qaeda suspects during their trip. They spent most of their time not in religious schools but in the company of figures from outlawed militant groups."

"The officials said: “Khan and Tanweer travelled together to Pakistan in November 2004 and stayed through until early 2005. They were joined by Hussain.”

"Pakistani police are also searching for 12 Britons whose whereabouts are unknown and whose names have emerged in an urgent review of intelligence after the attacks."

"Unpicking the Pakistani arm of the British al-Qaeda network is seen as the key to the London investigation and preventing further bomb attacks.The toll from the July 7 bombings now stands at 55 but is expected to rise; 47 of the dead have been formally identified. "

This can't be true!
Egyptian authorities reported yesterday, while "questioning" one of the suspects from the London bombing - that there was NO LINK to Al-Qaeda.....

Surely - we must be able to trust our "ally" Egypt...

Semper Fi

I don't believe their families that they gave no indication of their disfunction. They are culpable. Try and imprison their families as accomplices and destroy their homes.
