Reply #34: Yes, that is true

I could definitely see Alistair Campbell, Blair's Rove, being an "intelligence source" :-). But if they wanted to give the impression of an international al-Qaida conspiracy, why pick Aswat to be the bogeyman if he has indeed been working for the MI6? Perhaps the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing, but it still seems odd to me.

My personal guess - not a very qualified guess, admittedly - is that Aswat really was the mastermind, and that this is being covered up because of his MI6 connections. That doesn't necessarily mean that British secret services ordered the bombings, it could simply mean that his intel affiliations are too embarassing.
