They meet the fourth bomber, Germaine Lindsay , who's been waiting there for almost 2 hours.
This is the car park for Luton Station which is over there and it was in this exact spot that four bombers met on the morning of July the seventh.
Although never to return, they buy a parking ticket for their car. The ticket will last for a week.
A lot of people wonder why did the bombers buy a ticket for the car. They are not coming back for the car. They are leaving it here, they are going in for a suicide mission in London, so why bother? And the reason they bother buy a ticket is because every other car in this car park has one and they do not want their car to be the only one which stands out. If you are a terrorist, you are on a mission, you do not want to attract any attention whatsoever to what you are doing.
As they make their way into the station, they leave two primed bombs under the front seat of the car. Although homemade, these bombs have been constructed with skill and expertise. Such a high level of organization and planning seems to suggest that the four bombers were well connected to a wider organization, that they were recruited, trained, and supported by the experience of an organization such as Al-Queda. But new evidence points to a far more troubling possibility, the possibility that a group like this can develop without any outside influence at all.
Mark Sageman has plotted the formation of dozens of Al-Queda cells. His findings are an unsettling insight into the evolution of an extremist group.
Most people think of a terrorist as a kind of weak-minded, naive, young person who is preyed upon by the sinister recruiter who brainwashes him into terrorism. It turns out it's quite the opposite.
Over the course of three years, Sageman has mapped the lives of over 400 Al-Queda suspects from London, to Madrid, to New York.
