Question about the faked death (Spoiler)

How did the Pakistani terrorist group manage to have another girl's body "available" to be mistaken for Nasima's body (and with such a remarkable facial resemblance to Nasima)? Are we supposed to assume that this was a previous recruit in the training camp who had decided not to go through with a mission and had therefore been murdered by them in order to provide a "body double" for Nasima? I suppose that would explain how they also have the girl's passport, which they later give to Nasima before she returns to England.

I'd say thats a reasonable assumption. Alternatively, they actively murdered someone random for their passport and body...

I used to work for a life assurance company and it was common practice for some people who came from less developed parts of the world to travel back there at retirement age for a "holiday" then send back a death certificate and charred corpse and have the resultant life assurance money sent out there. It was all a retirement scam and so easy to pull off that we stopped offering cover for people who "died" in this way.

Frome the several cases like this a week that we used to deal with, it seems that corpses and death certificates are easy to come by in some parts of the world
