7/7 bomber 'saved $212 460'

2006-01-06 23:39

London - One of the four suicide bombers who killed 52 people on the subway system in the July 7 attacks left behind a personal savings of $212 460 (about R1.292m), said Britain's probate service on Friday.

Shehzad Tanweer, 22, who killed seven commuters after he detonated a bomb on an underground train near Aldgate underground station, east London, left behind the money, which would transfer to his family.

Tanweer, a Briton of Pakistani descent, had worked at his father's fish-and-chip shop, South Leeds Fisheries, in Leeds, northern England, but was not believed to have had any other source of income.

Funeral expenses

A spokesperson for the government's probate service, speaking on the condition of anonymity in line with government policy, said: "The amount left, after the deduction of debts and funeral expenses, is 121 000 pounds.

"We have no information as to what the estate was worth before those deductions were made."

The probate service is the government department responsible for dealing with a person's estate and any outstanding debts after their death.

Tanweer's father, Mohammed Muntaz Tanweer, made an application to the service to take control of his son's estate.
