The Backpack Bomber
Straining under the weight of a military-style rucksack packed full of explosives, the 18-year-old’s sole aim was to kill and maim as many as possible. The photo was taken at 7.20am at Luton railway station on the morning of the London atrocities as he hurried down from Leeds to unleash bloody mayhem on the British capital with his three accomplices.
The others detonated their devices within 50 seconds of each other at 8.51am, but Hussain did not trigger his bomb until 9.47am, on the No 30 bus in Tavistock Square.
