J’Accuse: World Leaders Call London ‘Terrorist Safe-Haven’

by Michele Steinberg

EIR warned of Britain’s role in international terrorism, in a dossier entitled “Put Britain on the List of States Sponsoring Terrorism,” delivered to U.S. officials on Jan. 11, 2000—20 months before the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Those attacks were not “terrorism,” but “irregular warfare,” which EIR Founder Lyndon LaRouche has described as an ongoing coup d’état, involving special warfare capabilities from within the United States in collusion with international forces.
