Straight A student blows himself up..

All the hoodlums in the world are either straight A students or promising young footballers. Tabloids favourite stories.

From a good family.

I would have added him to my chainsaw list, HH, but he's unfortunately gone awol (in several directions)

A 17-year-old from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, is thought to have become Britain’s youngest suicide bomber after leaving home to join Islamic State in March. Talha Asmal, who is believed to have reached Iraq via a holiday flight to Turkey on 31 March, blew himself up in the northern Iraqi town of Baiji.

The Guardian reports that the suicide attacks are understood to have occurred in Iraq’s Salahuddin province, around one of the country’s largest oil refineries, as part of a larger IS offensive.

On Saturday evening social media accounts linked to Islamic State (IS) released pictures related to the bombing. Those photographs are now being investigated by West Yorkshire Police. They showed four suicide bombers, one of whom was named as Abu Yusuf al-Britani.

A smiling Britani is shown standing beside a black Toyota SUV and sitting on the ground while apparently receiving instructions from a commander. West Yorkshire police have not yet publicly confirmed whether Britani is Asmal. The remaining three Islamist extremists are believed to be German, Kuwaiti and Palestinian.

The Mirror reports that Asmal/Britani boarded his flight to Turkey with his 17-year-old friend Hassan Munshi more than two months ago. At the time the pair’s families described them as “two ordinary Yorkshire lads” with promising futures “who enjoyed the things that all young people enjoy at their age.”

Breitbart London previously reported that Hassan is the younger brother of Hammaad Munshi. He became Britain’s youngest convicted terrorist following his 2006 arrest at the age of 15 over his role in a plot to murder non-Muslims. He was found to have been stockpiling terror guides, including files from the internet about making napalm, detonators and grenades.

The Munshis are grandsons of prominent Islamic scholar Yakub Munshi. Thought to be a senior figure at Dewsbury’s Markazi Masjid, Yakub Munshi was reportedly the driving force behind the creation of Dewsbury’s first sharia court.

In 2006, The Daily Mail linked the Markazi Masjid to Tablighi Jamaat, “a radical Islamic movement believed by intelligence agencies to be a fertile source for recruiting young extremists.” At the same time The Times stated that French intelligence labelled the group an “antechamber of fundamentalism” and The Telegraph wrote of it under the headline “Army of Darkness.”

The previous youngest British suicide bomber, Hasib Hussein, was 18 when he exploded a bomb on a London bus in the ‘7/7′ attacks of July 2005. He was also from West Yorkshire.

He's with his virgins now.

thanks for report IS (sic)
Who cares !

I'm with you Ovalman but it's a mad mad world out there.

Enoch Powell was an Ulster Unionist, he foreseen the problem. His view may have been racist but it was correct.

I'm an Ulster Unionist but I'm a pragmatist. It's hit the fan now how do we deal with it?

Stop giving concessions to any mosque builds or Islams concerns. I'm anti religions but Islam is vile.

Blowing oneself up..takes some courage

People do not do this unless they have a committed cause

We need to find out the cause and why young men feel the need to do this

Unless we start some degree of intelligence, nothing will ever be solved

It is all part of islam  read the good book - it's all there.   The inventor was a bloodthirsty maniac who wanted total control and the love for young people comes directly from him.

- where's your son?

- er, he's gone on holiday.

- where to?

- he got a flight to Turkey.

- two weeks away with his mates is it?

- er, don't think so.  He's been gone for two months.

- aren't you worried about him?

- no, he's a straight a student.  Typical Yorkshire lad.  He'll be 'reet.

Astonishing that parents can allow their children to disappear for months on end, with apparently not even the slightest concern for where they might be, or who with.  I just don't believe the parents could be so detached from their offspring's lives that they can turn into terrorists in their bedrooms without them even asking a few simple questions or raising concerns within their own communities.  They are either appalling parents who shouldn't be allowed to have children, or total morons.  Or they are complicit.

clearly didn't get an A in chemistry

Sadly khyber kim, that scene is all too common all over the country now.

But there are plenty who defend them.  It is quite frightening how many organisations and people are prepared to do this.

Some of the reports about systematic rapes carried out by these people make it clear there is a sexual lure which is attracting men to join.

Any news on what happens to the " virgins " when the inevitable happens & they are no longer untouched

No doubt they'll wheel out the community leaders who'll complain that it's the Government's fault.Personally i'd close down all the mosques in the country and if they don't like it they can get out.Religion is the biggest catastrophe the world has to deal with and the sooner we all give up on the mumbo jumbo the better it will be. Until that utopian dream is realised we have to put up with Christianity the national religion of England however all  other religions in this country should be banned and anyone who flouts this proposal deported.

Anyone else see his "friend" interviewed on the 6 o clock news.
Sounded camp as a box of frogs. Dont think that will go down well at the local mosque.
