#3 "Take out the trash. Clean out the gutters. Pick up burqas at dry cleaner. Blow up infidels with car bomb."

"What? I took out the trash LAST TIME!"

"Yes, snookums."

#5 An Islamist wife making her husband more "radical" sounds suicidal to me.

#7 So shoot the wife. What's the problem? It's not as if she has any rights under sharia.

#8 The Telegraph seems to have pulled the article, or at least directed to one about Mr. al-Abdaly's accomplices. Here's another article on the subject at the Independent.

From the article:

Mona Thwany became a fanatical Muslim around the time of the Sept 11 attacks and in turn radicalised her previously westernised husband, it is alleged.

Her grandmother Maria Nedelcovici, who lives in Romania, said that Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly could have been persuaded to abandon his deadly bomb plot if his wife had intervened.

British investigators are understood to be focusing on possible links to al-Qaeda in Iraq and the associated group the Islamic State of Iraq, or al-Muhajiroun the banned group with a strong presence at the fundamentalist mosque Abdulwahab attended in Luton.

Mr Lindstrand said: "He was totally unknown to the Swedish Security Police. He came to Sweden from Luton in November so of course it's important to us to know if there is anything of interest there."

Explosives experts believe Abdulwahab could have killed 100 people and injured 500, but his car, which was filled with gas canisters, caught fire prematurely and his suicide belt is also thought to have gone off before he intended.

Meanwhile Abdulwahab's one-time best friend recalled how the bomber had spent time as a community radio station disc jockey in his home town of Tranas, but became withdrawn after he moved to Luton to study physical therapy at Bedfordshire University.

Pelle Johansson said: "He wanted to be a physiotherapist. His ambition was to come back to Sweden and open his own clinic, but something changed when he was in England." He added: "Taimur liked to play hip hop and pop music and he was popular with everyone, including girls."

#9 Looks like part of the problem is in Luton, which seems to be a Jihadi concentrator and refinery unit.

#10 Blowing yourself up probably seems like a pretty good idea if you're married to this bitch...

#11 No life insurance payout for a suicide either.
