U.S. policymakers are working this week to hammer home the Bush administration’s perspective on last week’s bombings in London, a view that emphasizes the bloodthirsty nature of al-Qaida, the necessity of re-examining long-established notions of law enforcement and the longer-term importance of bringing democracy to the Islamic world, beginning in Iraq.
With critics of British Prime Minister Tony Blair linking the attack to his decision to join the U.S.-led war in Iraq, the United States is hoping to help Blair counter such claims by pushing for a reassessment of the West's approach to terrorism. From President Bush down, the message is one of determination to fight on mixed with encouragement for democratic nations to “take off the gloves,” as one American diplomat put it, in the fight against terrorism.

I know fully well that no matter how the incident happened or what really went down, either side of the issue will have a point to make on their behalf and we "joe public" will never really know the truth.
Sure the Secret Group of Al-Qaeda in Europe could have commited these horrendous attacks on the Brits, but it's also quite possible that something even more sinister like government involvement could have occurred.
That's the nature of conspiracists

The terrorist who hit the UK were home grown and its a domestic cell who hit us. UK has alot of extremists groups who are terrorist trained.

The group behind the attacks on thursday, carried out a "copy cat" attack and an "israel style" attack.
UK media beleive its an Al Qaeda inspired attack, not Al Qaeda itself

Is appears that the explosives used in London were not home grown.
Their conclusions was based upon the size and the damage produced by the explosives.
Now it appear is it military grade plastique or dynamite used for shape charges and such.
The plot thickens, and its pointing more towards an organized effort.
Im betting not Al Qaeda. Just like the man who was killed testifying against
Tony Blair, suddenly dead in his home, theres something rotten in London.
My theory rests, that this is still a bombing to sway public opinion, and that
the world may learn something they dont want to know.
Some things are better off left unsaid. This may be one of them.
Peace
