Al Qaeda on my doorstep, well almost

Earlier today one of my students told me that his street had been cordoned off and that an arrest connected to the London bombings had been made.

Since I’ve been teaching here for many years and we now know that the bombers were from Leeds there’s an outside chance that I may have taught one of the bombers in the past – makes you think doesn’t it?
