Cover story: ‘My brother the bomber’ by Shiv Malik | Prospect Magazine June 2007 issue 135

What turned Mohammad Sidique Khan, a softly spoken youth worker, into the mastermind of 7/7? I spent months in a Leeds suburb getting to know Khan’s brother. A complex and disturbing story of the bomber’s radicalisation emerged

An interesting article, you can discuss it here but of course also here at the Prospect Magazine’s blog.  I suggest you read also Yahya Birt’s insightfull  comments on the article here.
