.Bomber's uncle: 'Forces' drove him to kill
"The uncle of one of the London bombers today spoke of his family's devastation.The worst thing I read in this story is this
Bashir Ahmed, 65, said the family of Shehzad Tanweer had been "left shattered" by the news that the 22-year-old was a suicide bomber."
Daily Mail
"Mr Ahmed said his nephew went to Pakistan for two months earlier this year to study religion."..."Mr Ahmed said his nephew, who had studied in Lahore in Pakistan, was "proud to be British". He said if he had known he was involved in any fanatical groups or organisations he would have put a stop to it."HELLO is there anyone home. He went to Pakistan to study religion and you have no idea he was hanging with radicals? How naive are these people?
Hey mom, I'm going to travel to Cuba to study economics, and capitalism.
Sure son, have fun.

Don't forget Pakistan is the family's home country. People regularly go home to visit relatives. And in normal times it is not wrong for a young man to take religion seriously.
Maybe it's just me, I don't know. But with everything you read about the terrorist training camps in Pakistan you would think people would be careful.
Why would someone need to travel to Pakistan for religious training? There are no seminaries in the UK?
Don,
Maybe the reason I am so suspisuios is that I read this blog all the time. RantBurg and they cover a lot of the news over there.
