LONDON BOMBER LINKED TO TEL AVIV ATTACK

Mike's Place : July 7 ringleader linked to Tel Aviv suicide bombers.

MOHAMMAD Sidique Khan, leader of the July 7 [London] bombings, collaborated with two other British suicide bombers to recruit young Muslims for training camps in Afghanistan four years before he carried out his terror attacks in London.

Fresh evidence has been uncovered linking Khan to Omar Sharif and Hanif Asif, who killed three people and injured 50 in 2003 with a suicide attack on a bar in Tel Aviv.

According to a witness who has not yet spoken to the police, the men wanted to indoctrinate young Muslims and take them abroad for further training.

Kursheed Fiaz, a businessman who runs an information technology company in Manchester, had four or five meetings with Khan who was initially accompanied by Sharif and later by Asif.

The close link between the two groups of suicide bombers suggests Britain's Islamic terror network may be more tightly knit than previously thought.
