Groups like Al Muhajiroun ("the immigrants"), which celebrated 9-11 as "A Towering Day in History" and whose leader has ties to Osama bin Laden, operated freely post-9-11. Its spokesman, Anjem Choudry, has proclaimed: "One day the black flag of Islam will be flying over Downing Street."
London played host to the infamous Finsbury Mosque. It served as spiritual home for shoe bomber Richard Reid and al-Qaida trainee Feroz Abassi, the man who allegedly plotted to blow up the U.S. Embassy in France. A belated police raid found the Finsbury Mosque stocked with chemical weapons gear, as if those in the mosque were planning to live through a chemical attack.
In January 2003, British military intelligence working in eastern Afghanistan discovered a list of names of 1,192 British citizens, all Muslims, who trained with the al-Qaida network in Afghanistan. Ahmed Omar Sheikh, who masterminded the kidnap and murder of U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, was from London.
I highly recomend you read these books.
