London Bombers Tied to Al Qaeda Plot in Pakistan
Two Key Figures Still at Large, Officials Say
By Brian Ross, ABC News
Officials tell ABC News the London bombers have been connected to an al Qaeda plot planned two years ago in the Pakistani city of Lahore.
The laptop computer of Naeem Noor Khan, a captured al Qaeda leader, contained plans for a coordinated series of attacks on the London subway system, as well as on financial buildings in both New York and Washington.
Trust MSM reporters to miss the "meat" of a story.
In light of all the media fu-fer-all over claiming the Afghan/Iraqi liberations as "the cause" for Muslim terrorist bombings - such as in London - one would think the paragraphs above would be the lead. Timing is everything, yes?
While every "anti" on the planet is quick to blame Bush and America for increased terrorism, the truth is less simplistic than merely blind Cowboy Prez hatred. Had we even arrived in Baghdad when plans for the London bombing were laid? Were they motivated by the US's warning to Saddam, following 17 UN Security Council resolutions, for cooperation or face consequences?
AQ needn't have waited for the troops to march into Baghdad. The US President had ample precedence as a man of his word.
Or, the more likely assumption in light of decades of assaults on western interests, is this just the realization of the usual targets AQ had been planning, using the same reasoning for the first WTC, the USS Cole, embassies, etal?
Examining historical terrorist attackes, it appears the purported ties to Afghanistan - which the world community supported - and Iraq may have played little as motivation afterall.
