British suicide bomber Asif Hanif worked at Heathrow airport for more than two years, the Sun can exclusively reveal.
The terrorist had access to zones beyond passport control and baggage X-ray in Terminal 3.
But airport chiefs denied last night that here had been a security blunder.
Hanif had a job in a duty-free shop yards from gates where millions of passengers boarded international flights.
The worlds busiest airport is close to where he lived in Hounlow, West London.

Fat little chub. Reminds of "Sheik" Hamza, only with 2 eyes. He was radicalized in his local mosque.

And "Hanif’s parents are in Pakistan after going on a pilgrimage to Mecca several months ago."
It wouldn't be suprising to find the parents are deeply involved in Islamism.

Heathrow is full of muslims working by baggage handling. There are muslim security guards as well. It is so easily for al Qaeda to have a dormant cell there and just place a few explosives on some Trans atlantic flights.
The RAF control Bagram airport in Kabul so maybe its a fair swop.

A lot of these duty free purchase bags are sent right onto the departing airplane and then the hostess hands them out in flight. It's a way for a bad guy to send a dangerous device onto an airplane.

Welcome to Free Republic. You are in the Beit Yisrael district of Jerusalem? I used to live there, many years ago.

When are we gonna wise up and stop hiring Muslims for sensitive work like airport security??? I would love to visit England but knowing the personnel includes large numbers of Mohammeds doesn't leave me much at ease.
