Friends of Mr. el-Nashar said he "was well-liked and showed no interest in politics." His friend, Kadhem Al-Rawi, a doctor in Islamic Principles at the European Institute of Human Sciences in Wales said "He had a great personality. You would never ever expect this kind of action from him. Impossible." This is a recurring theme heard from many of the suspected bombers, families and friends. Many believed the suspects had little or no motive to carry out the attacks.
European Institute of Human Sciences is the employer of Kadhem Al-Rawi.
