Terrorist tied to London Bombing(caught on Syrian border)
Washtimes ^ | Sept 7 2005

MOSUL, Iraq -- A terrorist captured near the Syrian border last month had a computer "thumb drive" that contained planning information about the July 7 suicide bombings in London, according to a U.S. military officer.

Col. Robert Brown, commander of the 1st Brigade 25th Infantry Division in Mosul, said that the man was captured north of Qaim in western Iraq and that authorities had connected him to the al Qaeda terrorist network.

It is the first evidence of a link between the London bombs and terrorists in Iraq, but fits with other evidence of a growing presence in Iraq by al Qaeda, which has taken responsibility for the British attacks.

That's not true, I thought Israel was the cause of terrorism? All my professors told me so. I would write more but I have to fix my plumbing. The pipe breaking caused the water inside to freeze....

Without the current jihad instigating régimes in Iran & Syria existing (hopefully in the near future) overall Islamic terrorism can be greatly reduced in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Israel, London..etc, etc.

There's plenty of evidence too. The Able Danger scandal, developing slowly and building over the past several weeks, adds to the increasingly strong case that Al Queda was in tight with Saddam.

There's even evidence that Iraq was involved as far back as the OKC bombing. Why this hasn't been shouted from the rooftops is beyond me.
