Chalk one up for MI5? Sounds like maybe they got somebody, too bad they had to kill him.

I like the way them Brits handle these phucking animals. In the SAS the standard operating procedure when clearing a room is, if the lead guy drops someone he travels right passed him. Every team member behind him that passes the body and puts another one in the head on their way by for good measure.

Well the guy tried to blow himself up 24 hours before, so they did him a favor.

Blown up. Blown away. Whichever, he's with Allah now. Mission accomplished.

Well... if it's true that he was wearing a bomb belt (see BBC link above), they kept him from taking others with him.

If that's easier for you than having a foundation for argument, be my guest.

Y2 may have been closer to the truth than the Brit authorities.

Muslims condemn the terrorism:

From MI5:

The bombings in London on 7 July were the first successful attacks in the UK by individuals thought to be associated with international terrorism since the US attacks of 11 September 2001.
[...]
Though they have a range of aspirations and "causes", Iraq is a dominant issue for a range of extremist groups and individuals in the UK and Europe.

FYI
"Two of the men suspected of attempting to set off murderous bottle bombs crammed with nails and bolts in the London transit system on July 21 are Africans who were admitted as refugees to Britain and benefited from the lavish subsidies the British government gives aliens. One of the bombers, Yasin Hassan Omar, from Somalia, who was arrested Wednesday in a Muslim ghetto in Birmingham, has reportedly received over $60,000 in welfare benefits in the past six years. Eritrean refugee Muktar Said Ibrahim, on the other hand, spent several years in a British prison for his role in mugging his newfound countrymen—yet despite his criminal record and his Islamic fanaticism, Ibrahim was granted British citizenship last September. Meanwhile, British, South African, and American authorities were trying to explain how Haroon Rashid Aswat, arrested last week in Zambia and thought to be the master planner of the July 7 attacks that killed nearly 60 in the British capital, repeatedly slipped through the fingers of police and intelligence agencies despite being under watch since 2002 and under surveillance in South Africa just weeks before July 7. Thanks to his British passport, Aswat was allowed to enter the United States in 1999, where he spent several years attempting to train Islamic terrorists in the Northwest. In assigning responsibility for the murder and mayhem that has been inflicted and will continue to be inflicted on Europeans and Americans by Islamist fanatics, a large factor to emerge will undoubtedly be the hubris and hypocrisy of Western governments in believing that hostile aliens can be bought off by admitting them to our societies and saturating them with largesse."

ITV News, citing documents and photographs, reported that de Menezes was not carrying any bags when he entered the Stockwell Tube station and was wearing a denim jacket, rather than a bulky coat as police had previously said.

De Menezes walked at a normal pace, did not vault any barriers and even stopped to pick up a newspaper, ITV News reported.

He descended to the train slowly on an escalator, then ran toward the open subway car and took a seat, according to ITV, which based its account on a document outlining what was captured on surveillance footage.

At about the same time, armed officers were provided with positive identification that de Menezes was either Hamdi Issac, also known as Osman Hussain, one of the suspected bombers from the day before, or another suspect, at which point he was shot, ITV News reported.

According to the network, the crucial mistake that led to de Menezes' death may have occurred that morning as he left his apartment, when surveillance officers spotted him and he was misidentified as a possible terrorist.

London police were authorized to shoot and kill suspects they believed might try to set off more subway bombs. Shortly after de Menezes' death, police justified their actions by saying he was acting suspiciously and tried to run from officers, forcing detectives to make a split-second decision to shoot him.

ITV News also reported that an autopsy showed that de Menezes was shot seven times in the head and once in the shoulder -- and that three other bullets missed.
