In his rucksack was the bomb which, when detonated, blew him up and killed seven others while dozens were injured. The others in the group —Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, Hasib Hussain, 18, and Jermaine Lindsay, 19.

I would say confiscate it since it was the property of a terrorist.

He probably took the money for performing the suicide operation and was too stupid to realise he would never spend it afterwards. These guys arent exactly brain surgeons.

My thoughts exactly. Isn't *blood money* a concept those vermin are familiar with anyway?

Gasp! Poor old Uncle Shehzad. Left this world without an heir. I hope the authorities do the right thing and give the money to his long lost relative Whudda hazbin lowbridge. Poor Uncle Shehazd. What will I do without you?

Okay, so that's a major chunk of change for a 21-year-old -- but is 121,000 pounds really considered a "fortune" in the UK??
