Just a quickie post- according to CNN one of the men linked with the London bomb attacks, Haroon Rashid Aswat, was wanted by US authorities for attempting to set up a jihad training camp in Oregon. The US had the opportunity to have him extradited from South Africa a month before 7/7 but due to diplomatic wranglings he was never apprehended. It's entirely possible that his capture before the attacks would not have had any impact on the plan going ahead but it seems utterly ridiculous in this day and age that matters like this cannot be sorted out promptly.
Not the first time that South Africa has been mentioned in connection with jihadis either
