#1 The report came as a complete surprise to security officials who have spent the past six months investigating every aspect of Tanweer's life in an effort to discover why he took part in the atrocity.

DOH!

#2 
Questions were being asked how he could possess assets of such value.
By whom?

Anyone with even half a brain knows where it came from.
The report fact that the sky is blue and the sun rises in the East came as a complete surprise to security officials
There, that's more accurate.

Fake, but more accurate. Do you have a background in journalism, Barbara?

#4 Tanweer was buried in the family's home village of Samoondran in the Punjab region of Pakistan in October. It is thought that more than 300 people attended the funeral.

Local boy makes good.

#5 Might want to follow the money, guys.

And the family might want to watch their behinds. The terrorists are going to want this amount back. 1/4 million bucks buys a lot of bomb belts.

Begs the questions though - obviously the proceeds of terrorist funds. Why does the family keep money accrued through crime?

Shouldn't his estate be frozen, pending investigation - and criminal funds directed to victims?

#6 "He had planned his career in sport. Even on the night before he died, he was playing cricket."

Is his father really so stupid as to believe that this particular son had plans for a future career the night before he blew uphimself and a number of the local citizenry?

#7 Perhaps it was a spontaneous thing T. Wife. Maybe he wasn't planing to explode for 10 or 12 years, but got an opportunity to good to pass by.

#8 You could be right, GF 4549. But that would presume he wasn't aware enough to notice that shiny new bomb vest he'd been given by his dear, dear friends from the mosque... Of course, it doesn't take the same mental acuity to become a cricketeer as to become a rocket scientist (or even to go for that degree in Theatre).
