POLICE yesterday released dramatic images of one of the London suicide bombers and appealed to the public for information about his movements in the minutes before he completed his deadly mission.

Hasib Hussain, 18, detonated his bomb on the No 30 bus in London's Tavistock Square, killing 13 people.

CCTV pictures show him at Luton station at 7:20am. With his three fellow killers and possibly a fifth terrorist, he travelled from there to King's Cross, where the suicide mission began.

Casually dressed in jeans and a jacket, like any ordinary teenager, he was unlikely to attract attention from busy commuters on the Thameslink train from Luton or on the crowded King's Cross concourse. But, as the image shows, he was carrying a rucksack that contained one of the bombs that changed British society in an instant.

Unlike the other bombers, Hussain did not apparently board an Underground train, perhaps because the Northern Line from King's Cross was suspended at the time. The other bombers boarded trains heading east, south and west.

Born on 16 September, 1986, Hussain was the youngest of the suicide bombers. Standing 6ft 2in and described by friends as a gentle giant, he unwittingly provided the police with a vital clue to the identity of the bombers when his mother reported him missing in London on the day of the blasts.

Releasing the images, Peter Clarke, the head of the anti-terrorism branch, renewed the police appeal for information about Hussain's movements. "What we are asking the public is, did you see this man at King's Cross, was he alone or with others?" he said.

"Do you know the route he took from the station, did you see him get on to a No 30 bus and if you did, when and where was that? We are also keen to speak to everyone who was on that bus."

Mr Clarke said he believed there were probably in the region of 80 people on the bus when the explosion occurred.

Scotland Yard also released information about the movements of the double-decker bus in the minutes before Hussain's attack.

The image shows the route normally taken by the No 30, and also the diversion the bus took last Thursday, ending in Tavistock Square, where the bomb ripped through it.

It is unclear where Hussain boarded the bus, which started its journey at Marble Arch at 9am. By 9:05am it was in Gloucester Place, and at 9:10am it had reached Marylebone Road. At 9:30am it was in Euston Road, near the junction with Gower Street, heading east. The closure of King's Cross station because of the attack on the Underground meant it had to be diverted from its normal route, to travel south into Woburn Place and Tavistock Square.

The explosion happened in Tavistock Square at 9:47am.

Meanwhile, it was announced yesterday that the first of the funerals will take place on Sunday.

Susan Levy, 53, from Cuffley in Hertfordshire, who died in the Russell Square blast on board a Piccadilly Line train, will be cremated in a private service.

An inquest into her death was opened on Monday.
