The British 9-1-1: Three coordinated triacetone triperoxide bombings, by the al-Qaida (Arabic for “the Base”) international terrorist network, occurring within 50 seconds of each other, in the London underground (subways), along with a fourth on a double-decker bus, kill 52 British subjects.

       Mohammad Sidique Khan, one of the four suicide bombers left a pre-recorded video message saying,

       I and thousands like me are forsaking everything for what we believe. … Your democratically-elected governments continuously perpetuate atrocities against my people all over the world.  And your support of them makes you directly responsible, just as I am directly responsible for protecting and avenging my Muslim brothers and sisters.  Until we feel security you will be our targets and until you stop the bombing, gassing, imprisonment and torture of my people we will not stop this fight.
