British suicide bombers were middle class Muslims

An international security operation is underway to find the second British suicide bomber who failed in his attempt to blow up a Tel Aviv bar.

The newspapers are dominated by the fact that Asif Mohammed Hanif, who died in the attack and killed three people, and Omar Khan Sharif - who is now subject of the international manhunt - were both well-educated from comfortable backgrounds.

Sharif, 27, was married with two children and had attended a £12,000-a-year prep school. The Mail claims he worshipped with notorious Muslim cleric Abu Hamza.

Hanif, 21, was a former business studies student.

The Sun highlights that Hanif had worked at Heathrow airport for two years.
