London Tube bomber's SA connection
South African-born Farida Patel (58) was shocked when police and TV crews pitched up at her London home after the first London Tube bombings in July. Her son-in-law, Mohammad Sidique Khan (30), was the Edgware Road suicide bomber. He was married to her daughter, Hasina (27). Patel, originally from Germiston, is the daughter of Ismail Patel, an anti-apartheid campaigner who spent 10 years under house arrest. She was a languages teacher in London and was married to Abdul-Salaam Patel, who died last year. She also was on Queen Elizabeth's honours list for her community work. Patel lived with her son, Arshad (28), his wife, Khadia, and their baby son.
