An official from the European Union institution has indicated that for a month in both 2009 and 2010, one of the suicide bombers worked as a cleaner in the parliament - he was engaged as a student summer job and had been employed through a cleaning company that was contracted by the European Parliament at the time. The individual did not have a criminal record when he was engaged and the firm had submitted proof of this to the parliament as required under the terms of their contract.
