Mr.Osama bin Laden(still in hiding for those of you who had erased him from your minds) vowed to attack the United States and so he did. Over 3000 people died in the wtc crashes, but we know that story.
When the world eye was on him, Mr.Bin Laden said he would attack, as head of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, the allies of the US war in Iraq.”United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy” he pointed out. On the 11th of March 2004, 200people died in the renfe trains of Madrid. Normal commuters, mostly of poor or immigrant origins.This event caused public outrage against the “partido Popular”of SPain for following the US into Iraq(91%of Spaniards were against the war) and the PSOE took charge of the government just 3 days later. As we all know, London suffered similar bombings this 7th of july, only with about a quarter of the deaths. The idea of a train exploding in an underground tunnel and human body-parts flying around splattered with flood is frankly disgusting. Frankly it is no surprise that Italian politicians are starting to rise public awareness about the subject, as they realise they are the only target that hasn’t been attacked.What I still find amazing, is that Mr.Tony Blair still has not got the courage to admit publicly he was wrong to lead the British troops(without a legal reason) into Iraq. In fact, only last week, Mr.Blair said that the involvement in the Iraq war had nothing to do whatsoever with the suicide bombings in downtown London. -I find his words amazing.-
