Were the bombers really British?

The FT has some background detail on the cricket loving bomber allegedly responsible for the tube bombing at Aldgate, it may be read by clicking here. Other UK based papers have reported some of the suspected bombers as being British; a trap the FT seems to have avoided! It would appear the majority of the suspected perpetrators now subject to posthumous police investigations were eligible to British citizenship. and therefore the quasi British/EU passports we all must now acquire....... to describe individuals prepared to blow themselves and others on London tubes and buses to kingdom come AND in the name of a religion historically alien to our islands seems to me the antithesis of all I was taught to believe that Britain and Britishness was supposed to represent. On the PM programme on Radio Four this evening it was suggested that the families of the bombers might need special assistance or new counselling groups or programmes. In the Middle East the homes of the families of suicide bombers were bulldozed by the Israelis. Neither course seems a sensible solution. Whoever carried out these acts, whether they had the right to British citizenship and therefore eventually ID Cards or not, they could not in any way be properly described as British as I always understood the term. Correcting the muddled legislation and thinking that has allowed such an idea to gain credence might be the best way to approach this grave crisis. At least the Americans had the comfort of learning after 9/11 that they had been attacked by foreigners!
