Suicide bomber ‘was a big teddy bear’

THE family of a young British Muslim blamed by Israeli police for a suicide attack on a seafront bar in Tel Aviv yesterday spoke of their shock.

Meanwhile, the leader of the London mosque where Asif Mohammed Hanif worshipped condemned the attack, as Israeli police hunted for another Briton they said was his accomplice, who fled when his explosive device failed to detonate.

Police in Tel Aviv say Hanif, 21, blew himself up hours before the publication of the road map outlining a peaceful settlement in the Middle East.
