"In around a hundred pages of documentation in total, there is scarcely a mention of Iraq. The question was raised the day after the reports were published in an interview with the new home secretary (and former defence minister) John Reid, who repeated the denial of any serious connection between the motivations of the bombers and the situation in Iraq. This assessment contrasts markedly with the experience of many journalists and researchers questioning young people (especially those of Pakistani origin) in several of Britain's cities after the explosions."
