London's Suicide Bombers


All four of London's suicide bombers were British, but with origins in Pakistan. At least two of the men had recently returned from Pakistan.


Three of the men lived in Leeds: Hasib Hussain, 19, (reported missing by his family) who bombed the bus in Tavistock Square; Shehzad Tanweer, 22, the Aldgate bomber; Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, Edgware Road bomb.

Police found a bomb factory in Leeds containing a "viable amount of explosives".

Identity of the fourth bomber is unknown.

The mastermind behind the attacks and the bombmaker are both still thought to be at large.
