Intelligence interests may thwart the July bombings investigation

The videotape of the suicide bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan has switched
the focus of the London bombings away from the establishment view of
brainwashed, murderous individuals and highlighted a starker political
reality. While there can be no justification for horrific killings of
this kind, they need to be understood against the ferment of the last
decade radicalising Muslim youth of Pakistani origin living in Europe.
During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, the US funded
large numbers of jihadists through Pakistan's secret intelligence
service, the ISI. Later the US wanted to raise another jihadi corps,
again using proxies, to help Bosnian Muslims fight to weaken the Serb
government's hold on Yugoslavia. Those they turned to included
Pakistanis in Britain.
