(Jerusalem Post) Arieh O'Sullivan - Maj.-Gen. (res.) Ya'akov Amidror, a former chief of IDF intelligence assessment, told Army Radio from London, where he was touring, that the attack was probably linked with al-Qaeda and should serve as a catalyst for setting up a global counter-terrorism headquarters. Moti Cristal, a fellow at the Institute for Counterterrorism at the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center, explained that British attempts to enact antiterrorism measures following the attacks of September 11 were "bashed by the House of Lords and the liberal nature of the British people. Now this attack will provide a very important backing for their government to do what they know they should do and this is to take much more countermeasures and surgical operations without breaking the very delicate relationship with Britain's Muslims."
