The fourth and last bomber to be named was Lindsey Germaine -19-, Jamaican-born British resident and a Muslim convert.

All four persons have been named, not necessarily their remains identified, DNA analysis must confirm ID.

These four persons were not hiding, their residence was known.

A 5th person is chemistry student/teacher Magdy el-Nashar, who has been located in Egypt on holiday and remains in custody of Egyptian Justice. El-Nashar was in Egypt and did not go into hiding.


Egyptian biochemist Magdy Mahmoud el-Nashar

A Syrian national has been named, Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, and is now sought by UK investigators, he was on the terror watch list. Recently Nasar entered the UK and was not kept under surveillance. It is known he left the UK before the 7/7 London attacks.

Initial reports on the explosives was an educated guess by the experts because of the power of the blasts, relative to the weight of a bomb that could be carried in a backpack. Assumption was a powerful explosive and therefore of military or commercial origin. This has now been debunked by further forensic evidence.

The involvement of Nethanyahu, Powers and Gulliani in London has been extensively covered in other diaries.

Background of spiritual leaders for this group may not be found, as what I read these four persons weren't seen as radical at all. The major contributor of funds and extremist, Islam fundamentalism in The Netherlands is Saudi Arabia as I covered in my previous diary.

The In-Depth information on Islam, fundamentalism and the connection Afghanistan, OBL, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia I could provide some links for further comprehensive reading.

    The Mustafa Setmariam information is almost certainly wrong - the guy has a $5 million FBI bounty on his head, so if he would be automatically picked up were he to try to enter the UK.
