British minister sees attack 'inevitable'

A new guerrilla attack on Britain is inevitable, a British junior minister responsible for counter-terrorism said on Monday. Speaking days before the first anniversary of the July 7 attacks in London which killed 52 people and four suicide bombers, junior Foreign Office Minister Kim Howells said he did not believe al-Qaeda focused simply on anniversaries. "I don't think they care a great deal about anniversaries. They care much more about success," he said in Cyprus. But asked if he thought more attacks were inevitable, Howells said: "Yes, I do think it is inevitable, yes. We have already foiled since the London bombings a number of very, very serious would-be attacks."
