In other news from Britain — Tony Blair’s government is now acknowledging for the first time that the U.S. and British invasion of Iraq provided motivation for the four British suicide bombers who killed 52 people in London last July. According to the Observer newspaper, the British Home Office is preparing a report that concludes the men were radicalized by Britain’s foreign policy particularly in Iraq. Shortly after the July 7th attacks, British MP George Galloway said Londoners had “paid the price” for the British government’s decision to attack Iraq and Afghanistan. But until now the government has tried to claim there were no ties between the bombings and the Iraq war.
