22-year-old Shahzad Tanweer(LEEDS) ::
Every week, 22-year-old Shahzad Tanweer joined friends for games of soccer and his beloved cricket.
Tanweer, whose Pakistani-born father owns a fish-and-chips shop, lived all his life in the city's Beeston area. A devoted athlete, he studied sports science at Leeds Metropolitan University and planned to get involved in sports professionally. He showed up twice a week for pickup soccer games, said a teammate who gave his name only as Saj.
"He was normal. We used to drink Coke and Fanta together," said Saj. "He was quiet. He was religious. He went to every mosque here. There are loads of mosques here."
Tanweer went to Lahore, Pakistan, this year to study the Islamic religion, and his family believed he was attending "some religious function" on the day of the bombings, said his uncle, 65-year-old Bashir Ahmed.
Forensic evidence has linked Tanweer to the blast on the Underground train near Aldgate.
The uncle said the family was "left shattered" and in disbelief that Tanweer could have organized such violence, the Press Association reported. "It wasn't him. It must have been forces behind him.
"It was total shock, I mean, it's unbelievable," Ahmed told reporters, but he denied that his nephew had gone to Afghanistan and taken part in training camps.
"There is no way, I have seen his passport," he said.
Another friend, Azzy Mohammed, 21, added: "He's the kind of person who gets along with anyone. His sense of humor is very good. He's a sweet lad."
