The uncle of one of the four suspected suicide bombers of Pakistan origin, who rocked London on Thursday afternoon, has said that some radical groups in Pakistan might have brainwashed their ward to take to terror acts.
According to the family sources, Shehzad Tanweer, who blew off the underground train at Aldgate, had gone to his home country last year to learn the Quran, and might have been indoctrinated into extremism by different groups.
Bashir Ahmed (65), Shehzad's uncle, said that if he had known that his nephew was involved with any fanatical group, he would have put a stop to it.
"He went to Pakistan but it was to learn about his religion. It was not a terror camp. But he would have been in an environment where different political views would be discussed and pressure is put on young people to get involved in various groups. He was just a good British boy when he was growing up, a young sports fan from a good family. It is hard to accept what must have happened to him," the Daily Mail quoted the uncle as saying.
Indicating that his nephew might have been influenced by some terror groups in Pakistan, he said: "We believe radical groups must have secretly been coming round importing extreme ideas into the community. Shehzad would not have been capable of this bombing unless his mind had been poisoned."
Ahmed further said that his nephew was cool and calm and that the family had been left "shattered" by the news that the 22-year-old was a suicide bomber.
"The family is shattered. This is a terrible thing. It wasn't him. It must have been forces behind him. He was a very kind and calm person. He was respected by everyone. His parents were very proud of him and very pleased he was taking his religious studies seriously when many parents are worried about their children going to the pub," he said.
Denying reports that Shehzad travelled to Afghanistan to take part in terrorist training camps, Ahmed said, "There is no way, I have seen his passport."
Meanwhile, a report in The Sun said, that like his fellow bomber Hasib Hussain, Tanweer too had a brush with the law last year when he was cautioned for disorderly conduct.
The report also said that people who knew him were shocked at his involvement in the bombings. One of his former school friends said, "Nobody can believe it. When he was at school, his hero was Mike Tyson, not Osama Bin Laden. He was quite religious but had little interest in politics. He loved sport. He was cricket mad and a good fast bowler. He loved boxing and American wrestling. He played football for the school and was brilliant at the triple jump and long jump."
Another ex-pupil from Wortley High School in Leeds said, "He would have been the last person you would say would get involved in something like this. He was kind, polite and respectful at school. He was super-intelligent. We used to struggle to get good grades but he seemed to find it all easy. His family was very strict about him doing his homework. He was a really quiet lad but also had a great sense of humour and was always smiling. He was a teacher's dream. He always got on with any work he was set and was always extremely polite."
Sounds like someone taught him the Quran really well.
These guys must be very easily influenced. Too bad they can't think for themselves.
keep up your fine work general Mushi!!!keep producing what you call "Freedom fighters"!!!!
He did.
He didn't know the little monster was a Muslim?

I think it only required a light rinse...
This brain-washing took place in a Mosque...in the UK. And it was likely a Saudi-trained Mullah who did the brain-washing. Its quiet simple to show these guys the front door, and to require each mosque to be totally open to any group....even the cops. I'd be bugging every phone within a mile of a Mosque.
This uncle is clearly a liar. If even I, an ignorant American, know that the Pakistini Koran schools are terrorist organizations, sponsored by dirty money from the Saudi Wahhabis, then I'm sure he does too.
This sounds exactly like all those relative of the perp stories in which somebody says, "But he was always such a nice boy! Surely he couldn't have committed this murder, rape, or fill in the blank.
It's really easy to wash something that hasn't been used before............
"When he was at school, his hero was Mike Tyson.."
Well that explains it, how long was Tyson's time in jail?
"This uncle is clearly a liar."
Probably, because he is speaking to "infidels" and according to their teaching "lying and any number of vises" exercised toward infidels is acceptable. They are quite good actors.......
Yes they taught him the Quran! It brainwashes automatically. All of them have been duped. like David Koresh did his followers. First, he convinced them that he was a Messenger from God, when he was up to no good, and the people fell for it.
