#1 would-be bombers met at Finsbury Park mosque in North London, where some of the July 7 terrorists are also known to have stayed.

What Would Vlad Do?
Probably something appropriately mediaeval.

I would lock up anyone showing up there... and consequently, lose the key. ;-)

#3 Both spellings are correct, twobyfour, depending on whether your dictionary is Brit or Yank. But if you choose Brit, you need a font that squishes the ae together. But you'll have to ask one of our computer types about that... I just pour out the tea. I gave up on programming stuff back in the days of Fortran1 and APL.

#4 Â£500k a day is just the beginning of the costs incurred. They should think about how much more costly it would be if another 50 people are murdered by Islamofascists and hundreds maimed. The cost of homeland security is a lot higher than Â£180m a year and we had better b eready to bear it...

because we are at war.

The best estimate I have seen for the cost of 9/11 to the US economy is around $500 billion. And that doesn't include the cost of liberating Afghanistan + Iraq.
