Killer in a New Red Mercedes

Bombing suspects led unassuming lives. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

Just hours before heading south to London with two of the three fellow suspected bombers, Shahzad Tanweer, 22, had played cricket, his favorite pastime, and kicked around a soccer ball on the local sports field.

The previous evening, Tanweer, who had been studying sports at college, had greeted friends cheerfully as he drove his brand-new red Mercedes-Benz.

The car had just been given to him by his adoring father, Mohammed Tanweer, who immigrated to Britain from Pakistan 30 years ago.

(A brand new red Benz is “unassuming?”)
