Neighbours Baffled, Family Detained

Hassan’s neighbours are supportive:
-- "Why do they call every pious person a terrorist? They (the family) only pray and read the Quran”. CNN
-- "Nobody can believe something like that. They were born here. It may be someone else who did this." "They never talked about politics and he didn't have a beard." Reuters
-- “Hassan “could never do that.'” Guardian

Police have detained up to 30 people in connection with the blast, including Hassan’s widowed mother and two brothers and other friends and relatives.

Suzi, I do support the effort of tracking the links that led Hassan wrong but please order the Ministry of Interior to make sure the police are easy handed on these people. The uniformed rouges criticized recently are part of the structural problem that made Hassan embittered.
