Man Uted bomb blasts fioled – The Sun
"The willingness of fanatics to sacrifice themselves is a shocking development in their drive to stage a 'spectacular' in Britain, security experts said last night.
"In the days of IRA attacks, the nation became accustomed to bombers who normally gave warnings before fleeing the scene.
But the Manchester United plot makes it chillingly clear there are some crazed Muslims who are prepared to blow themselves up along with their unsuspecting victims.

The hijab, racism and the state
"Lenin put the point very simply in 1902. He wrote that when workers go on strike for wage rises they are trade unionists, but when they strike in protest at violence against Jews or students they become true socialists. Solidarity with young Muslim women will strengthen the unity of all workers, whatever their religion. This will not only have a powerful impact in the struggle against racism. It will strengthen the confidence to fight on other issues."
