Bin Laden Likely Still in Control, Say Experts
Fox News, Via AP, Sunday, July 24, 2005
WASHINGTON - Usama bin Laden is still in control of the Al Qaeda terror network and he or his lieutenants may have sponsored the terror bombings in London and Egypt this past week, say counter-terrorism experts in the United States.
However, the group appears to be suffering as a result of operations in Iraq, the experts added.
On Saturday, terrorists struck without warning in Egypt's popular seaside tourist area of Sharm el-Sheik. Three bombs produced chaos, fear, and a death toll of 88 people.
In London, three bombs were detonated at three separate locations on the subway and another explosion went off on a bus on Thursday. Two weeks prior, a similar series of attacks ended up killing 56 people. Authorities say the incidents in London and Egypt are the deadliest terrorist attacks ever seen in those countries.
