London bomber idolised Osama bin Laden: reports

London/Islamabad, July. 21 (PTI): Shahzad Tanveer, one of the London bombers, idolised Osama bin Laden and sympathised with militants in Kashmir, media reports said today.

"Osama bin Laden was Shahzad's idol and he used to discuss about the man with his cousins and friends in the village," Tanveer's uncle Tahir Pervaiz, who lives in Chak near Fasalabad was quoted by Pakistani daily 'Dawn' as saying.

A London daily 'Daily Telegraph' quoted his cousin Asfaq Ahmed, as saying that Tanveer had said "bin Laden was his hero and everything he did was right. He believed that America had made Muslims suffer all over the world. He used to say about Kashmir that India was committing great atrocities against the Muslims."

"When his father in England gave him money to buy clothes he would not spend it on himself, but for buying coats for those waging the jihad in Kashmir."
