Guardian Unlimited | World Latest | London Bomber Appears in Farewell Tape

"Your democratically elected governments continuously perpetuate injustice against my people all over the world, and your support of them makes you directly responsible, just as I am directly responsible for protecting and avenging my Muslim brothers and sisters,'' he said.

So much of this idiot's statement saddens me.

Like his misguided, crush-like profession of fealty to jihadi poster-boys bin Laden, Zawahri, and Zarqawi. For starters, I don't even believe Khan's heroes knew he existed, or what he planned to do. His bombing was the "martyr's" equivalent of writing "Mrs Osama bin Laden" 100 times in his school binder. Now that he's dead, though, Zawahri is only too glad to co-opt this poor loser's desperate plea for attention. He knows the signal it will send to star-struck, belt-bomb-obsessed fanboys everywhere, as he uses al Jazeera to play Bob Saget in Al Qaeda's Funniest Home Videos.

Sadder still is this British-born South Asian's belief that any of his fatwa-issuing idols would ever view him as an equal. Arabs within the same country can often barely stand each other, but at least they're all agreed on the inferiority of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Indonesians, and Filipinos. Clearly Khan felt living in Britain was hard for Pakistanis. He should have tried life in the Arabian Peninsula.

"His people" don't actually care about his people, except as cannon fodder.
