On Thursday, July 7, 2005, a series of bomb attacks during morning rush hours shocked London's public transport system. Three out of four suicide bombers have been identified as Pakistani-Britons, who grew up in a small town near Leeds. What kind of life did these three suicide bombers lead? How did they develop into terrorists?

The three suicide bombers have been identified as Mohammed Sidique Khan, Hasib Hussain and Shahzad Tanweer. All of them led a fairly quiet life in Leeds. 22-year-old Shahzad Tanweer, born in a wealthy family there, used to play soccer games with his friends twice a week and practice cricket and his parents ran a fish-and-chip shop, the only English fast food restaurant in the town; Hasib Hussain, 19, often wore his hair long, and was known as a charmer; the oldest of the three, 30-year-old Mohammed Sidique Khan, worked as a teacher in a local school.
