Shehzad Tanweer (December 15, 1982 – July 7, 2005) is a suspect in the 7 July 2005 London bombing.
Biography
Tanweer was born in St Luke's Maternity Hospital, Bradford to Parveen Akhtar. Her husband, Mohammed Mumtaz Tanweer, was originally from the Faisalabad region of Pakistan. In 1984, the family moved to the Beeston area of Leeds, though the majority of Tanweer's youth was spent among the Victorian houses of Colwyn Road where his family moved when he was seven.
At the time of his suspected death, he was not holding a regular job, though he worked part-time in his father's fish and chip shop earlier. His family had also run a curry takeaway and a meat shop. He graduated from Wortley High School where he was described as very moderate by his friends and acquaintances. Known as Kaka (Little One), [1], he was an avid cricket player, and practised several martial arts including jujitsu.
Tanweer attended several mosques including Bengali, and Stratford Street mosque in Beeston, where Mohammad Sidique Khan and Hasib Hussain are also thought to have worshipped, and frequented the Hamara Youth Access Point, a drop-in centre for teens. He attended Leeds Metropolitan University where he studied sports science before leaving for Pakistan.
Trip to Pakistan
After completing the hajj earlier in the year, Tanweer travelled to Pakistan for a nine-month course in Islamic studies at a madrasa, but returned after only three months in March 2005.
Intelligence sources say the school was located in Muridke, Pakistan, and is believed to be connected with Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, a banned militant Islamist group with ties to Al Qaeda that was implicated in the December 13, 2001 attack on the Parliament of India in New Delhi.
It is alleged there was a Faisalabad meeting between Tanweer and Osama Nazir, a suspected member of Jaish-e-Mohammed who has since been arrested for his role in a grenade attack on a church in Islamabad that killed five.
Alleged involvement in London bombings
Tanweer is suspected of detonating a high-explosive bomb whilst travelling eastbound on the Circle Line between Liverpool Street and Aldgate, killing at least seven people in his role in the 7 July 2005 London bombings.[2]
