We have your classic loser 18-year old teen with an identity crisis who turns Islamic during a trip to Pakistan. But then we have a Jamaican , a regular school teacher who was married to another teacher and had a young daughter I guess the fourth guy, the 22-year-old "sports science graduate" who turned religious could more or less fit the same profile as Hasib Hussein -- and they lived half a mile from each other.
