Bombing suspects' identities shock Leeds (1107 words)
LEEDS, England -- Shehzad Tanweer, the 22-year-old son of Pakistani immigrants, appeared to be the epitome of assimilation into British society, an ambitious college graduate with a degree in sports science who excelled at cricket and just about any other sport he tried.
Residents of Leeds say that Khan, the oldest of the three known suspects, was a primary school teacher in the city, and that he taught martial arts at a community drop-in center, where Tanweer and Hussain were among his students.
People here say they were shocked but also sad for what happened in London, for the hurt and shame of the bombers' families and for their inability to do anything about it beforehand.
