Trail of terror

Monday 8pm: ANTI-TERROR officers meet late into the night at New Scotland Yard after the 8pm discovery of CCTV footage of four men, believed to be of Pakistani origin, each carrying army-style rucksacks, standing together in the concourse at Kings Cross Station.

The officers already have a positive identification of one of the men, 18-year-old Hasib Hussain, who had been reported missing by his mother at 10pm on the day of the bombings. Officers had been given a description of the clothes Hussain was wearing when he left for London by Hussain’s mother.

Using this information, and Hussein’s driving licence and cash cards found in the bus explosion debris, forensic officers were able to find his body parts. Burn marks and injuries on his decapitated remains were consistent with those usually suffered by suicide bombers.
