Reply #3: Doesn't sound like the same 'Mohammed Khan' to me [View All]

The suspected bomber seems to have been in Leeds a long time:

Mohammed Sadique Khan had married for love. Flouting the cultural conventions of his community, he rejected an arranged marriage. Instead, the 30-year-old learning assistant and mentor married Hasina, the girl he met and fell in love with while studying at Leeds University.

His parents were from Pakistan, hers from Gujarat in India. But despite the differences, they married four years ago and only a few months ago set up home close to Hasina's widowed mother in a council housing estate in Dewsbury, away from Khan's normal stamping ground close to where he was born in a run- down part of south Leeds.

All the 8 arrests last year were down in the south of England:

Two were arrested in Uxbridge, west London, three in Crawley, West Sussex, and one each in Ilford, east London, Slough, Berkshire, and Horley, Surrey.

So it's a different name, different age, and different area. It all might be possible, I suppose, but it's a big stretch.

On edit: we do have this from The Times:

Police sources also admitted that the name of one of the bombers had emerged during a major anti-terrorist operation last year. But he was neither arrested nor questioned.
...
The fourth bomber was named unofficially last night as Ejaz Fiaz, thought to be in his early thirties. His home in Leeds was still being searched.
