...London bombings may be part of a wave of attacks. French terrorism expert Roland Jacquard says French and Spanish investigators have been asked by their British counterparts to collaborate in finding "two or even three other teams" of suicide bombers that could be part of the Pakistani-led networks responsible for the London attacks. Jacquard says European investigators, on the basis of their experience in cracking the cell that carried out last year's terrorist strike in Madrid, believe the support network behind the London bombings might include as many as 30 members, "and they've been told...
...more from the books than they have to give. By Phoenix, the fifth book in the series, Harry is embroiled in a borderless, semi-civil war with a shadowy, hidden leader whose existence the government ignored until disaster forced the issue and who is supported by a secret network of sleeper agents willing to resort to tactics of shocking cruelty.

Instead they attack nightclubs, hotels--and commuter rails. The newer terrorist network has found that even in a war zone like Afghanistan, spending a little on motorcycles and satellite phones can make killing infidels that much easier...
Supervising all this is a far more informal network of radical Islamists who facilitate contacts clandestinely from Europe to the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan. "Previously, the rule always was networks were run by several jihad-hardened veterans of Bosnia, Afghanistan or Chechnya," says Denécé, a former officer in French military intelligence. "Today officials are finding groups with no foreign-trained members, and only one or two external contacts with deeper al-Qaeda roots." Cells from England to Somalia manage their own ops. Consequently, says a European-based U.S. official, "their chances are low of taking over...
