Leeds 7/7 bomber ‘posessed by evil djinn’

Businessman Wajid Hussain was renting out a small flat in Chapeltown, to Hussain, 18, in the months before the 2005 terror attacks in London.

The letting had been organised by the ringleader of the bombings, Mohammed Sidique Khan, who told Mr Hussain that Hasib was a student at Leeds Metropolitan University.

A few weeks after Hasib moved in Mr Hussain had tried to visit the flat to tell his tenant, who identified himself as “Imran” about an electricity fault.

But he couldn’t unlock the door as Hussain had blocked the keyhole.

When Mr Hussain later confronted him, Hasib warned that his “djinn” may make him violent.

Mr Hussain told the July 7 inquest in London: “A short time later I spoke to Hasib Hussain about the problem with the electricity.

“He said he had a djinn inside him that affected his behaviour.

“He said if I came into the room the djinn might attack me.”

The hearing heard that Mr Hussain had again tried to search the premises following the terror attacks as he suspected that Hasib may be involved.

He broke into the flat on July 12 as his tenant had changed the locks.

Inside he found the premises were empty but littered with rubbish including plastic bags and the packing for a gas mask.

He said he put the rubbish into bin bags and threw them away as he was worried about being implicated in the attacks.

Mr Hussain was an acquaintance of Khan’s but insisted he did not know him by name.

Hasib Hussain started renting the property from April 2005.

Khan had demanded details about the flat before agreeing the lease.

Mr Hussain explained: “He asked a number of questions about other people living in the building. He said his friend would not like loud music disturbing him.”
