GuardianBlog: "The Sunday newspapers carry conflicting theories about who was responsible for Thursday's bomb attack on London. The Sunday Telegraph reports that 'ministers now believe that the bombings - which left at least 49 people dead in Britain's worst terrorist attack - were the work of a 'very, very small number' of individuals who arrived from mainland Europe or North Africa on false passports within the six months'.
Sir Stevens, the former Metropolitan Police commissioner, disagrees in the News of the World. 'The terrorists at the centre of the London bombing this week will almost certainly be British born and bred, brought up here and totally aware of British life and values,' he insists. 'It is true that ... international terrorists may have provided expertise, know-how or even possibly foot soldiers for this week's onslaught. But essentially, sadly, this will almost certainly have been a home-grown operation.'
The most way-out theory crops up in the Independent on Sunday, which reports that police and intelligence agents are investigating the possibility 'that a gang of white 'mercenary terrorists' was hired by al-Qa'ida to carry out last week's devastating attacks on London'. This theory was given credence, according to the paper, 'by the fact that the security services had no advance warnings, suggesting that the bombers were not known extremists'."
From here it is only one step more to the involvement of the Israeli Mossad. Possible clues: Israel has an interest in this; there was Israeli activity in London on that day; the operation was military style; Sharon muzzled Israeli officials on this attack; 55 Israelis are unaccounted for (cover-up or hype?); the attack came out of the blue for police and secret service.
Anything is possible. But most people seem to blame Blair for this attack, as they see it as a retaliation for Iraq.
Things become very strange when you read this: "A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th."
In the meantime, it's business as usual in the oil trade.
Adnki: "Eleven oil fields in southern Iraq, capable of boosting the country's production to three million barrels a day will soon be tendered to international investors, the Iraqi oil ministry announced Friday."
In other words, more oil on the fire of war.
