July 18, 200520 yr http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/200...bomb050718.html A study co-authored by two of the country's leading think-tanks – the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Economic and Social Research Council – said the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq gave al-Qaeda a fundraising and recruitment boost. Released on Monday, the study comes 11 days after a series of rush-hour bombs in London killed at least 55 people and injured 700 on three subway trains and one bus. Reem Allaf, a spokesperson for the institute, says the British government has embraced a high-risk policy by joining with the United States. "The involvement of Britain in the war in Iraq has been a contributing factor and has helped the network of al-Qaeda in their propaganda and their recruitment and in their training," said Allaf.
