Turns out from the emerging media coverage, the four bombers were young muslims who were nice, and quiet and generally well behaved.

Today Muslim leaders in Leeds have spoken and some say the young muslims (in fact a lot of the young people there) are restless and bored, and don't have enough to do. They say it's common for muslims to go abroad for a year, and get an insight into their religeon, or the world, like when westeners go for a year working abroad with a charity. They reckon at such a time they could have been vulnerable to an experienced person twisting their mind.

So, bored youths on Britain's streets, a nasty mastermind twists the knife, a tale of the young being led astray... Maybe the whole London bomb blasts thing isn't as weird as it sounds, and is in fact a classic tale of trouble in our suburbs with unruly youths.

Here are some resources for those who find them useful:
