British Intelligence services are investigating possible links between a Sri Lanka suicide bomber and an extremist group launched in Britain by a notorious hate preacher, The Telegraph reported.

One theory is that Jameel Lathief may have fallen under the influence of Hizb ut Tahrir (HuT) while living in London and studying at Kingston University in the mid-2000s.

The group, which calls for the foundation of an Islamic caliphate, had a strong presence on the Kingston campus at the time Lathief was in the UK to study aeronautical engineering.

aeronautical engineering. like the 911?? Those 911 took training in US, how to do a take off! Wake up UK! These guys who attacked SL, claim it was revenge over their losses in Syria. I ever doubt, UK and US are well aware of the origin of ISIS.
