One more possibility that hasn't been entertained is the idea of a common cause...
Say you were two young Muslim men and you find out your uncle married the daughter of a guy involved in Iran-Contra. "What's that?" you ask, and scurry off to google to find out that the US was actually involved with some pretty nasty stuff playing off one Muslim group against another, and you're inducted into the whole shady business of radicalism.
In other words, it's a reversal of cause and effect. It's not so much that Graham Fuller got involved and directly radicalised these two kids, but that the kids found out the were related to Graham Fuller and became radicalised when they found out what he did.
