"Revealed: 7/7 ringleader's role model"
Posted by: Neil on Monday, May 15, 2006 - 06:05 AM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The ringleader of the 7 July 2005 suicide bomber modelled himself on a Briton who was killed during the US battle to capture bin Laden at Tora Bora in Afghanistan.

Mohammad Siddique Khan, who killed himself and six other people at Edgware Road, kept of copy of the man’s final will and testament.

It was published by a radical Islamic bookshop in Birmingham.

The videotaped will of Khan, which was released in its entirety on the internet in November, draws heavily on the text of his predecessor's will.

Like him, Khan left behind a wife and young children.

The publication of the Tora Bora martyr's will was accompanied by a memorial piece written by a friend who was travelling with him to fight the Americans in Afghanistan in 2001.

He wrote of his courage and determination as the pair entered Afghanistan and how he woke up one and said he had had a dream about the Eiffel Tower in Paris being destroyed.

A first aid specialist, he tended injured al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters as the US rained bombs down on Tora Bora in late 2001.

He died while with a group of some two dozen fighters when they were attacked by a US fighter-bomber."
