So much for poverty causing terrorism:
A suicide bomber who killed eight people at Aldgate Tube station on July 7 left £121,000.
The origins of Shehzad Tanweer’s riches are unknown as the 22-year-old terrorist worked part time at his family’s chip shop in Beeston, Leeds.
That’s around $A285,000. The little bastard killed people as they were on their way to work.
UPDATE from an English government insider:
I don’t believe that Shehzad Tanweer ever had assets of over £120,000.
This is just a guess, but what probably happened was that the senior members of the family will have bought two or three terrace houses in Beeston or Holbeck or Wortley or wherever and registered them in the name of Shehzad Tanweer at the Land Registry. This sort of manoeuvre means that the “beneficial owners” can hide behind the “legal ownership” of whoever is on the register.
This is useful for tax purposes and also for fiddling Housing Benefit payments where members of the same extended family rent each other’s houses (although I am certainly not suggesting this happened in this case). This normally works well but if the “legal owner” unexpectedly vaporises himself the “beneficial owners” have to go to the inconvenience and expense of going to the Probate Court to get their hands back on their property.
Despite Beeston being near the bottom end of the Leeds housing market, terrace properties can still sell for around £90,000.
“little bastard”? Isn’t that a little insensitive?

Muslims are tremendously ‘flexible’ toward those drug dealers who happen to be fellow Muslims.
Heroin out of the Bekaa Valley has financed Hizbollah for decades.

Is it possible for this cash to be soaked up by his victims in civil suits? The turd’s familiy should be left with just a stale cracker afterwards by all rights.

In the U.S., the law suit would be a lay down hand. The 120,000 pounds would go in a minute. If he were living at home, you might get a plaintiffs’ shark to file on the parents for negligent supervision, i.e., failure to stop their little hell-spawn. Serve them right.

Sure, he had a lot of money, but he could have been poor. He was probably saving up to buy a dirty bomb.

Hussein used to pay the Palestinian suicide bombers US$25,000; that’s about £14,200. Looks like the price for a good suicide bomber has gone up. Is that due to a lack of supply, or higher quality recruits?

- Maybe these ‘martyrs’ get paid in advance for their filthy work. Remember Saddam used to hand over much lucre to the families of suicide bombers.
Perhaps it is the custom and the rat’s families should have to prove where that money came from.
Then be stripped of everything they own and sent back to their homeland.
He might have been an Islamic scholar. Over at Radio Japan on Thursday, in a conversation of two cultural diplomacy professors, one asked how to deal with Islamic scholars if Japan is to be a mediator between Islam and the West, when they’re such loud pig-headed morons at conferences, and the other seemed to flail around for a while and then settled on more tea ceremonies and cameras. http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/japancut.diplomacy.ram
The loud pig-headed moron effect causes terrorism.
Suicide bomber are paid money? Does this surprise anyone? The Israelis have known this for a year, that’s why they destroy suicide bombers’ houses. They are often the biggest due to the payout the family receives. Another way to stop the suicide bombers is to stop the flow of cash, some want attack until the family is taken care of.
- Whats the bet the little turd spent his last few days drinking and whoring because soon hed be a “martyr”.
Similar to the 9/11 scum.
Be worth a few brothels, nightclubs and pubs in their area checking their old secuiry tape in the 2 weeks leading up to the bombings.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2006 01 06 at 05:30 AM • permalink

Education * Islam = Terrorism.
Why? Education teaches (is supposed to) you about reality. Islam teaches you about how the world should be a paradise for Muslims.
Islamist Terrorists are merely motivated by Faith to destroy the evidence that Islam only creates shitholes on earth by attempting to remove civilisation.
- o/t sadly,Ariel Sharon has been taken back to theatre for more surgery according to the 7.30(biased and dirty)report on aunty.
It seems to me that he could be slipping away.
Aunty abc begins with a Palestinian view “he is an evil man who doesn’t want peace..he is a war criminal.”
To Israeli bloggers- what a tragic day.
Here is a man who has literally given his life for his country…
Poverty, occupation and oppression can all be dismissed as ‘root causes’ simply by pointing to all of the impoverished, occupied or oppressed people who do not and would not blow themselves up.
For example, Aboriginals and Tibetans.
Similarly, the Mongolians have been impoverished, occupied and oppressed simultaneously over time, and not blown themselves up.The easiest way to dismiss the ‘root cause’ (and dispel root-cause myths about Israeli treatment of Palestinians as well) is to acknowledge that not one Christian Palestinian has ever blown himself up.
Ever.
Muslims on the other hand, are carrying out thousands of such attacks in Israel and worldwide.
Rich, poor, oppressed or liberated, black, white or brown, Middle Eastern, English or even Thai, the one thing they all have in common is which way they face when praying.

The money could have been the funds for the attack; perhaps he “forgot” to return the excess?

If this is the explanation, you got to give it to him for covering all bases. First he screws the government with this tax and welfare dodge. Then he screws his family by killing himself, leaving them to untangle the mess. Finally he screws the public by killing them.
Is there anyone he won’t toss over to get to his 72 virgins? Was he that desperate for a date?

Re: #25. Just a suggestion, but Mr. Lewis should try http://TinyURL.com. It resolves his format-destroying URL to:
Is it possible to bring an action for damages, pain and suffering etc against a dead person’s estate?
Seems wrong that his rellies should inherit all this hard to explain wealth.

Clearly, though, fish and chips are a root cause of terrorism.
