Immediately after writing my previous posting news came through on the BBC
of a breakthrough in the investigation of the London bombings and some
FWers might appreciate it if I describe it briefly. Three young people from
Leeds travelled down to London on the morning train last Thursday and
another joined them at Luton. Police say that they have found the name and
address of one of them in the wreckage of one of the explosions and also
that they have been identified on CCTV at King's Cross terminus at London.
It is also reported that one of the young men's family reported him missing
at 10 o'clock on the Thursday of the attack. I'm not sure at the moment
whether this was in the morning or the evening, but in either event I would
guess that this was really the first clue that led to all the rest.
This doesn't alter anything in my previous message. The fact that all the
train explosions occurred simultaneously suggests that they had timers and
this, in turn, suggests a network of recruiters behind the suiciders. That
these were home-grown suiciders makes it even more ominous that there might
be more to follow now unless Blair changes his policy. A recent poll
suggested that Osama bin Laden is the hero to a significant proportion of
them. Of course, the proportion of highly impressionable young people who
feel badly enough to become suiciders must be very small but there are now
1.6 million Moslems altogether in England so there might be further
bombings to come.
