United Press International: Analysis: Al-Qaida's G8 mistake: "While al-Qaida showed their customary ruthless skill in planning the London bombings, their choice of target may become a major strategic mistake.
London was not the only victim of the spate of bombings of the trains and buses of the London transit system. The bombers clearly meant to sow not only panic but financial disruption, hitting stations in the heart of the city of London, where most of world's daily $1.5 trillion trades in currency are made. That plan failed. The London markets -- which did not close -- quickly sank 3 percent, but then recovered."
