London bomber buried in Pakistan

LAHORE, Pakistan, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The remains of a British-born suicide bomber involved in the July 7 London bombings were buried at an Islamic saint's shrine in Pakistan.

The funeral for 22-year-old Shahzad Tanweer, one of four bombers who blew up a subway train killing seven, was held in the village of Chhotian Kota in Pakistan where family relatives live, the Independent reported. Tanweer was born in Bradford, England.

The burial was attended by about 200 people, including Tanweer's father, Mumtaz Tanweer, a police official said.

The Pakistani government has said Tanweer arrived in Pakistan in November 2004 along with another bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan. They left after three months, having attended a terrorist training camp, the report said.
