Some Britsh Authorities Know Why Men Set Off Bombs
Burhan Wazir, deputy features editor of The Times of London, said this in a July 14, 2005 article about the four men accused of detonating bombs in London July 7, 2005:Of all the evidence that demonstrates the confusion of the four hopelessly stupid British men who took their own lives, as well as the lives of more than fifty Londoners last Thursday, that provided by Jodie Reynolds, from Leeds, a neighbour of one of the bombers, was the most compelling. The young man's favorite song, she said, had been Elvis Presley's version of the Eddy Arnold classic, Make the World Go Away.
"I just cant believe that young lad, with his whole life ahead of him, would carry a bomb on his back and get on a bus and blow himself up, said Ms Reynolds. What on earth would have made him do it?"A great question. However, British authorities already know the answer. It's in a leaked, April 6, 2004 document titled "Relations With The Muslim Community." See Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4, which appeared in the July 10, 2005 edition of The Times in an article headlined "Leaked No 10 dossier reveals Al-Qaeda's British recruits."
