London Bombers Tied to Al Qaeda Plot in Pakistan

Connection to Al Qaeda Plot in Pakistan

Officials tell ABC News the London bombers have been connected to an al Qaeda plot planned two years ago in the Pakistani city of Lahore.

The laptop computer of Naeem Noor Khan, a captured al Qaeda leader, contained plans for a coordinated series of attacks on the London subway system, as well as on financial buildings in both New York and Washington.

"There's absolutely no doubt he was part of an al Qaeda operation aimed at not only the United States but Great Britain," explained Alexis Debat, a former official in the French Defense Ministry who is now a senior terrorism consultant for ABC News.

At the time, authorities thought they had foiled the London subway plot by arresting more than a dozen young Britons of Pakistani descent last August in Luton, a city known for its ties to terrorism.

"For some time, the locus of terrorism in Britain has been around the Luton area and in some of the northern cities," said Michael Clark, professor of defense at King's College in London.

Security officials tell ABC News they have discovered links between the eldest of the London bombers, Mohammed Sadique Khan, 30, and the original group in Luton. Officials also believe it was not a coincidence the subway bombers all met at the Luton train station last week.




Sorry G-Man, it's no longer idle "Bush hating" speculation. The Bush Administration, by exposing Khan right before the DNC convention, is directly responsible for botching an investigation that would have prevented the London bombings. The connection to Khan is there. Blood is on your idols hands.

The pattern that is emerging here is one of political advantage trumping all other considerations. Screwing up the Brit's terror investigation for Bushy's political advantage is immoral, grotesque, and if not treasonous, well, it's grounds for Blair to punch Georgie in the mouth. And it goes to show that all these political games and machinations have real and grave consequences. Consequences of which these Republicans care nothing about.
