British Report on July 7, 2005 Bombings Was Knowingly False, Deliberately Misleading
Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis - May 12, 2006 Friday

Analysis. By Gregory R. Copley, Editor, GIS. A report issued on May 11, 2006, by the British Home Office on the July 7, 2005, terrorist bombings in London made numerous statements which were false, and, according to reliable sources within the British security apparatus, the facts were deliberately distorted, and lies told, in order to maintain political continuity with the policies of the British Labour Party and the Blair Government. The report was by the Blair Government, on the performance of the Blair Government, and therefore found no fault with itself, and therefore saw no need for further investigation into the incident or the Government's response to it.

By admitting the truth, the Blair Government's policies of consistent support for the Islamist Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina would be shown to have jeopardized British and Western security, through its practice of protecting those Islamist officials who have harbored and supported the al-Qaida -linked and Iranian Government-supported terrorist networks which operate their narco-trafficking and operational command and control from Bosnia.

There are several points, however, which need to be addressed:

1. The report by the Blair Government stated that the terrorist attacks occurred entirely at the behest of a local, British Muslim group, and were without linkage to al-Qaida or any foreign leadership. This belies the fact that the group utilized very clearly identifiable explosives, which derived from Albania and were delivered via Kosovo, from a known al-Qaida operative within the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). A homegrown, self-led UK Islamist group would not have had access to this capability.

2. The Home Office report stated that the explosives were simple devices, made from readily-available local materials. This was clearly a lie, and the UK Government itself, based on the signature of the plastic explosives utilized, immediately dispatched security teams to the Balkans to determine how the explosives reached Britain.

3. The Home office report said that there was no evidence of a link between the July 7, 2005, bombers and the terrorist team captured shortly afterwards in the UK. British intelligence sources have confirmed to GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs that they were well aware of the linkage and the fact that there was joint command of them. Indeed, one team was the back-up for the other, and when the first team utilized the explosive assets, it was the second team which attempted to improvise its bombs with "readily available, local materials", and failed, demonstrating in fact that bomb-making by amateurs for such purposes is not as easy as was implied by the Home Office report. And the fact that Italian authorities later detained one Islamist linked with the London attacks indicates that there was an international component to the affair.

The October 25, 2005, report by GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis was particularly damning to the Home Office claims. That report identified the specific source of the explosives used in Madrid and London.

Several sources within the British intelligence community have told GIS that it was forbidden for anyone to mention to 10 Downing Street (the Prime Minister's office) that a connection existed between the jihadist movements and Bosnia, given that Bosnia was a "success story". Several sources told GIS that to raise the "Bosnia connection" was to invite career termination.

The Blair Government's 180 degree reversal of the policy of the former John Major Government toward the Balkans directly contributed to the build-up of the jihadist movements in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to allowing the Albanian criminal/terrorist/narco-trafficking groups to build up dominance of illicit activities in the UK and Western Europe.
