Picture of London Bombers Released - British MI5 Misjudged Bomber's Threat

By Andrew Cochran

The Sunday Times is reporting, "One of the four suicide terrorists behind the London bomb attacks was scrutinised by MI5 last year, but was judged not to be a threat to national security, a senior government official said yesterday." That is sadly reminiscent of the missed intel in the U.S. with respect to the 9-11 attackers.
