Doctors as suspected terrorists

Why are doctors, of all people, the suspects in the foiled attacks on London and Glasgow? asks Endre Aczél. "The al-Qaida terrorist network is a group of fanatic criminals who know perfectly well that Europeans tend to trust doctors more than they trust politicians... A great amount of trust was invested in the foreign doctors who are now suspected of masterminding the botched attacks in London and Glasgow. They were beyond all suspicion. The British police had thousands of potential Islamists under surveillance, but not these doctors. Now there is all the more reason for Europe to import the American principle that 'everyone is a suspect', despite its unpleasant consequences."
