Support for Israel causes attacks/doesn't cause attacks.

Somehow these two Reuters articles just caught me.

The British government on Saturday rejected as "dangerous and foolish" accusations that its foreign policy heightened the threat of terrorist attacks after police foiled a plot to blow up transatlantic airliners.

Okay, that version of events supports the British foreign policy, but...

Iran is pressing Shi'ite militias to step up attacks against the U.S.-led forces in Iraq in retaliation for the Israeli assault on Lebanon, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq told The New York Times in an interview.

(And, because it matters, I'm going to ask again, has anyone seen a stated or claimed motivation for the interdicted terror attack?

With an informant in the group for months, and all the electronic eavesdropping, the British certainly know that answer, and yet they have remained conspicuously quiet.)
