‘Going Postal’ with a twist, part 2
Sent on July 26, 2005

 
We know their names now: Mohammed Sidique Khan, Hasib Hussain, Shahzad Tanweer, and the mysterious Jamaican, Germaine Lindsay. They were the London bombers of 7/7. We don’t know their individual motivations for suicide-bombing, nor who recruited them for it.

The information that has trickled in about them to date hasn’t brought much clarity so far. Their families are bewildered; the two young wives never suspected. People who knew the three from Leeds say they were nice boys, and were liked. No one realized they’d become Islamic extremists, let alone that they had it in them to kill innocent civilians.
