KENYA

Independent: Robert Fisk: Elusive Bin Laden still has the global reach to strike terror at will
'Do not believe for a moment that al-Qa'ida strategists haven't looked at targets in Britain'

"The "Army of Palestine", which claimed the attacks in Kenya, is assuredly mythical, though this claim of responsibility will be used by the Israelis"
"In future, any Israeli assault in the occupied West Bank and Gaza can be portrayed as part of the hunt for Bin Laden's men.
An Israeli air raid, no matter how many children it kills, can be depicted as no different to the US raids on Afghan villages."
"The pathetic "clash of civilisations" predicted in Samuel Huntington's book of the same name is as important to Bin Laden's followers as it is to the right-wing American Christian fundamentalists who make the revolting claim that the Prophet Mohamed was a paedophile.
Yesterday was another step in that direction."
