He did not say whether British police made any link<br \/>\n          to the economic conference.<\/p>\n<p>          The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the nature of<br \/>\n          his position.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">from <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/news?tmpl=story&amp;u=\/ap\/20050707\/ap_on_re_mi_ea\/israel_britain_explosions_1\">AP<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">A few hours later, <a href=\"http:\/\/hosted.ap.org\/dynamic\/stories\/I\/ISRAEL_BRITAIN_EXPLOSIONS?SITE=FLTAM&amp;SECTION=HOME&amp;TEMPLATE=customwire.htm\">AP<br \/>\n          changed their story<\/a>, and said<br \/>\n        the warning came immediately AFTER the first explosion.&nbsp; Some were<br \/>\n        mollified..<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">Please publicize this. This morning in all the confusion<br \/>\n          in London a report got out that the Israelis had received a warning<br \/>\n          about the attacks before the first one. It was false, but as Right<br \/>\n          Wing Nut<br \/>\n          House points out, it seems destined for a place in the Hall of Things<br \/>\n          That Have Not Happened But Are Widely Believed. It&#8217;s a very, very popular<br \/>\n        place for some, who seem to believe that is &quot;real&quot; history.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">from <a href=\"http:\/\/maxedoutmama.blogspot.com\/2005\/07\/next-slander-on-israel.html\">maxedout mama<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">But the conspiracy theories start to fly&#8230;.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">Just like the events of 9\/11, ask yourself, who stands<br \/>\n          to gain from this? Could this have been organized by any group other<br \/>\n          than one who has direct unlimited access to all areas of London&#8217;s transport<br \/>\n          grid at all times? <\/p>\n<p>          This has MI5 written all over it. Just watch that national ID card legislation<br \/>\n          sail through. Only 15% of the country supported the government after<br \/>\n          the last election, this will ensure total fealty to a smarmy Blair and<br \/>\n          whatever he wants to do. Ken Livingstone and the opposition parties will<br \/>\n          now have no grounds to reject ID card legislation, especially with the<br \/>\n        Olympics coming to London in 2012. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/motionxsilently\/9636.html\">motionxsilently&nbsp; <\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Given<br \/>\n          the persistent, pernicious rumors that all Jewish occupants of the<br \/>\n        World Trade Center were given advanced warning of 9\/11, it is perhaps<br \/>\n        not surprising<br \/>\n      that these rumors would surface again.&nbsp; What is somewhat surprising<br \/>\n      is that they would involve a news source of the prestige of AP.
