They called the British capital Londonistan.

How quaint.

BBC....slanting the news maybe.....

Recruits were also trained how to resist interrogation and provide false information - Nasiri's mentor at the camps, Ibn Sheikh al-Libi, would go on to provide false evidence of links between al-Qaeda and Iraq after he was captured by the US.

Omar Nasiri - not his real name but one chosen to protect his identity

I'm surprised the BBC didn't publish his real name.

Lopping off Abu Hamza's head would sure improve his looks.

Maybe. But it doesn't mean there wasn't real evidence of such links. When I saw this was from the BBC, the first thing I thought was "I wonder if any of this is true"?

Interesting story. I am sure we shall continue to read things pointing out early al Qaeda connections in all corners of the globe.
