This is very curious? Perhaps they should follow the laundry trail?

Shehzad Tanweer worked part-time in a fish and chip shop before he blew himself up at Aldgate tube on 7 July last year. So how could he leave an estate worth £121,000?
Anti-terror officers from Scotland Yard are investigating how one of the 7 July bombers, who worked part-time in a fish and chip shop, left more than £100,000 after his death.

Senior police sources say that they are working on the theory that Shehzad Tanweer, who blew himself up at Aldgate tube station, may have been paid by a terror mastermind to carry out the attacks.

1. Why would someone who knew almost exactly the date on

which he would die leave any estate at all?

6. Well, in the good old days you could trust someone who agreed to be a

suicide bomber. These days you just can't trust some people. You give their relatives some money and then they skip out on you and don't blow themselves up. So the terror commander has to put the assets in the name of the bomber and try to choose assets that take a bit of time to convert to cash. Then the terror commander keeps a close watch on the suicide bomber.

Of course, that's just what a little bird told me. These days you just can't trust some birds, but don't get me started on that.

9. "Mahmood... you won't be a suicide bomber...

... you just plant the bomb. It's a time bomb, set to go off at 10:15 exactly, so be sure it's in place. 10:15 exactly, so don't dump it too soon, OK?"

At 10:00, the boss presses the remote detonator.

Presto, no witnesses.

5. Imagine the supposed negotiation

"I will give you one thousand pounds to kill yourself."
"No way - not worth it, I would be dead."
"OK, let's make it one hundred thousand."
"Now you're talking."

It just doesn't make sense.

7. It would make sense if the bomber didn't know about the dying part..

If he thought it was a drill or if he was supposed to just leave the bomb somewhere, start a timer and walk away.

8. Well, there's that $8.8 billion in cash that went missing in Iraq

But that was in the safekeeping of the Bush administration, so who knows where it went?
