I think that should have put them on a watch list or something, even if it did happen before 9/11.

Oh yeah... it was by the same bunch of guys that flew planes into the World Trade Center just 11 months later.
Not too long ago, some Al Qaeda Brits loaded with explosives blew up lots of people on the public transport system in London.

Similarly, an Al Qaeda Brit tried to blow up an airliner laden with people on its way to the US.

I think that should have put the UK on a watch list or something.
