On their journey to mass murder - the faces of Britain's first suicide bombers

Bus bomber Hasib Hussain Mohammed Sidique Khan Shehzad Tanweer Germaine Lindsay

These are the faces of the four suicide bombers responsible for the bombing of three underground trains and a bus in London on July 7, 2005. They are the faces of hate - the hate that Islamic extremists and followers of Al Qaeda have against Western society. The extraordinary and chilling image on top released by London police was captured on CCTV. It shows the gang of four carrying their rucksack bombs into Luton railway station on their journey to murder 56 people. Three of the bombers were ethnic Pakistani Britons. The oldest was Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, who was married with one daughter. He was a teaching assistant at the Hillside Primary School in Leeds. He was accompanied by two other Leeds-born killers Hasib Hussain, 18, and sports science graduate Shehzad Tanweer, 22. Making up the fourth member of the terror gang was Germaine Lindsay, 19, who lived in Buckinghamshire and was born in Jamaica. They all grew up and were educated in one of the most tolerent and free societies in the world - England, the birthplace of three of them. Yet the four became devotees of Islamic extremism, and the ideology of Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, who has declared a holy war on the United States and its allies. They practised their new gospel of hate by the slaughter of the innocents in the society in which they lived. They targeted train and bus commuters in early morning rush hour, and gained notoriety - and martyrdom, according to their own twisted view of religion - by becoming the first ever suicide bombers in Britain.
