A clueless muslim cabbie? What’s this world coming to?
There is nothing in the account which suggests that the taxi driver was Muslim, only that he happened to be unfortunate enough to get these particular fares with murder on their mind.
For that matter, the fares might not have known that their package was timed to go off when it did. Suicide bombers are not the brightest of bulbs, and sometimes their handlers don’t overtax their feeble minds with a “full monty” about their role in a jihadist action.
