London - Relatives of one of the London suicide bombers said on Saturday that he may have been "brainwashed" and appealed for new leads in a fast-moving investigation which has so far linked Britain, Egypt and Pakistan.
"We are devastated that our son may have been brainwashed into carrying out such an atrocity, since we know him as a kind and caring member of our family," said the parents of 30-year-old Mohammad Sidique Khan.
"We urge people with the tiniest piece of information to come forward in order to expose these terror networks which target and groom our sons to carry out such evils."

Three of the bombers who blew themselves up in Britain's first suicide attacks were young British Muslims of Pakistani origin, while the fourth was a Jamaican-born Briton.
Police said another victim of the bombs had died from injuries, taking to 55 the number of people, including the bombers, who were killed in the explosions on three underground trains and a bus in the morning rush hour on July 7.
Police are seeking connections with the militant Islamist network of al-Qaeda.
