All eight detainees have ties to Britain's National Health Service, overlapping in their duties at two hospitals in England and Scotland. Most also have roots elsewhere, but investigators have thus far found scant few common threads in their respective backgrounds in Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, India and Saudi Arabia.

Yeah.... What could be the common thread?

This reminds me of the last time the Star was found sticking its head in the sand:

Which is similar to the RCMP's famous "broad strata" comment:
Quote:

From an unmarried computer programmer to a university health sciences graduate and the unemployed, the 17 suspects charged in a foiled terrorist plot represent a �broad strata� of Canadian society.

�Some are students, some are employed, some are unemployed,� RCMP assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell said Saturday. ...

Most of the group, who were remanded into custody until their next court appearance on Tuesday, wore street clothes although some appeared in white jump suits.

The majority sported the traditional Muslim male beard.

Ahh, maybe the last line points to a clue?

Why must we play this game? Do they honestly think their readers don't know?
