68. It seems one has not been identified yet
From the BBC link in post #57:

"There is no identity for the fourth bomber and police do not know if his remains are at the King's Cross blast site or if he has fled."

which presumably means they've identified the men as a group of four on CCTV, but can't tell who one of them is (and, of course, they did arrest one person in Leeds).

Most Muslims in Britain are of Pakistani or Bangladeshi descent, so it wouldn't be surprising to find some amongst Islamists; bin Laden and his group have had fairly strong links with Pakistan too. If they regard Islam as a monolithic culture, they could easily have the same motivations as the 9/11 hijackers (one of whose controllers was Pakistani, I seem to remember).

As for the size of the explosions - who knows? Perhaps that was all the explosive they had available, and they decided 4 bombs was better than, say, 2. We'll have to wait for more details.
