Well, this is persuasive:
The lawyer representing Hussain Osman, the London bomb suspect, said that he had denied that the failed attacks on July 21 had anything to do with the bombings a fortnight earlier.
Antonietta Sonnessa said last night: “My client says his action was purely demonstrative. In fact, all four attempts did not result in any injury or damage at all. Moreover, he maintains that he was nothing to do with the events of July 7.“He has justified his actions as a form of protest against the fact that civilians are suffering in wars at the present time. He has taken part in many peace marches and has never had any contact whatsoever with any terrorist organisation,” she continued.
“He is not at all a violent person and made sure he would not cause any damage, injuries or deaths. There wasn’t a very clearly defined plan, the whole thing was set the day before, in a meeting with this group of friends.”
Just a demonstration against British involvement in Iraq: the method can be questioned – young people, you know, they get carried away with their idealism – but the motives….well, they’ve got a point, haven’t they? Strange how many of yesterday’s papers trumpeted the claim that, yes, it was really all about Iraq. That Hussain Osman admitted as much. Almost as though they wanted it to be true.
