The media are steadingly drip feeding us BS but still providing no concrete evidence. I suppose if Khan cheated the welfare system he's capable of anything....

It is interesting how weakly the allegations are made in this article:

LONDON (AFP) - The suspected ringleader of last year's deadly apparent suicide bomb attacks in London visited Pakistan while on sick leave from his job as a primary school classroom assistant, officials said.

Documents obtained under Britain's Freedom of Information Act showed that Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, took several weeks off in 2004 while working at Hillside Primary School in the Beeston area of Leeds, northern England.

On November 19 that year, he was pictured at Karachi airport with Shehzad Tanweer, another of the four men suspected of bombing the capital's public transport system, killing themselves and 52 others.

Education Leeds, which released the papers, said Khan worked at the school from March 8, 2001 until his resignation on December 7, 2004 for being "absent without authorisation" for the previous week.

During 2004, he claimed different periods off work, including the time between September 20 and November 30 when he made the trip to Pakistan.

Greg Mulholland, the Liberal Democrat member of parliament for Leeds North West told the Yorkshire Evening Post newspaper that Khan's defrauding of Britain's social security system would compound reaction to the atrocities.

"Finding out that one of the perpetrators of these appalling acts of terrorism was at the same time exploiting the benefits system will only add to the revulsion and outrage people locally and nationally feel about these acts," he was quoted as saying in a report entitled "The Sick Pay Bomber".

Khan, 22-year-old Tanweer, Hasib Hussain, 18, and Germaine Lindsay, 19, are believed to have blown up three London Underground trains and one double-decker bus in the attacks, which also injured more than 700 people.

It is widely-believed Khan was the ringleader because of a video message, later broadcast on the Arabic television channel Al-Jazeera, in which he outlined the reasons for the attacks.

Good for AFP.
