This is a response to the letter by Nur Jahan (London bombing) published on 31 August 2005.

First of all, why should any suicide bomber bother about CCTV camera in the first place ?

The identification paper left on the bus by the bomber simply substantiated the fact that he was one of the bombers and the DNA test later confirmed that he was indeed the bus bomber. On the other hand historical documents show that most of the suicide bombers' intention is to let the people know who carried out the bombing.

The third point seemed particularly naive, especially where technology is so developed and circumstances hardly differ in technologically developed and well-organised London underground system. Everybody knows that there is a train every minute especially during peak hours.

It is in fact a matter of great disappointment that a country which has been a safe heaven for all kinds of people regardless of their race and background is now being castigated by many.
