Hamara Youth Access Point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hamara Youth Access Point (Hyap) was a drop-in centre for teens in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, operated by the Hamara Healthy Living Centre, an Islamic charity partly funded by the UK government. The drop-in centre was frequented by several of the suspects in the 7 July 2005 London bombings.

In 2005, police searched the premises and confiscated items such as computer hard drives for forensic investigation [1] Both Shehzad Tanweer, 22, and Hasib Hussain, 19, who have since been proven to be suicide bombers, frequented Hyap, according to police.[2] The Leeds teacher Mohammed Sadique Khan, 30, also identified by police as a suicide bomber, acted as a mentor to youths at the centre.[citation needed]

The Hyap's status permitted it to apply for grants from the UK government.[3]
