What Prompted The Bombs In London Yesterday?
Washingtonpost.com staff writer Jefferson Morley asked these questions in July 8, 2005 column:
"What prompted the bombs in London yesterday?"
"Did the war in Iraq fuel the attacks that killed at least 50 Londoners or was it Islamic fundamentalism?"
He said, "On the day after the worst attack since World War II," that fundamental question divides British commentators, even as the country's political leaders unanimously decry the attacks."
"The question matters," he added, "because the answer suggests how Britain and the West can most effectively respond to a deadly threat that traditional security forces were unable to prevent."
