- Scores dead and hundreds injured in London.
- Zarqawi's thugs reportedly murder Ihab al-Sharif, the Egyptian ambassador to Iraq. (click link) Their statement: "...that the verdict of God has been implemented against the ambassador of the infidels, the ambassador of Egypt, thank God."
I think they will find that as with the Australians, the British are made of sterner stuff than the Spaniards. As for their effort to isolate the Iraqi regime, I think it's not a winning strategy to start killing Arab diplomats. It closes doors and incents governments to be less inclined to look the other way on Islamofascism.
Unless, of course, you read and believe the New York Times, which had this to say:
The envoy's execution was a blow to Bush administration efforts to win more international backing for the new Iraqi government burgeoning under the auspices of American support.
