The investigation over last month’s bombings in London continue. An attorney for one of the men arrested for taking part in the failed July 21st bombing has said her client has justified the failed bombing as a “peaceful protest over the Iraq War.” Hussain Osman’s attorney Antonietta Sonnessa said “He has justified his actions as a form of protest against the fact that civilians are suffering in wars at the present time… He is not at all a violent person and made sure he would not cause any damage, injuries or deaths.” Unlike the bombings on July 7th which killed over 50 people, the July 21st bombs failed to detonate and injured no one. The attorney also denied that her client had connections to any terrorist organization. Britain is now trying extradite Osman to face charges.
