Al-Qaeda have allegedly claimed responsibility for bombings in London and Madrid. In the early 1990s, some members of al-Qaeda had participated with the Bosnian mujahideen, including 9/11 hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi.[1]

In September 2009 Tanvir Hussain, Assad Sarwar and Ahmed Abdullah Ali were convicted of conspiring to activate bombs disguised as drinks on 7 aircrafts leaving from London and going to North America[2].[3][4] British and US security officials said the plan - unlike many recent homegrown European terrorist plots - was directly linked to al-Qaeda and guided by senior Islamic militants in Pakistan.[5][6][7][8][9]
