LONDON - Britain must withdraw its troops from Iraq in order to prevent further terrorist attacks, London Mayor Ken Livingstone wrote in a British newspaper on Thursday.

Britons need to support the police, treat Muslims with respect and pull out from Iraq to “make us all safer”; “All are inter-related”, Livingstone wrote in The Guardian daily.

“Acceptance that the invasion of Iraq increased the likelihood of a terrorist attack on London now extends far beyond the usual suspects,” the anti-war left-winger wrote.

London was hit by two waves of terrorist attacks last month. On July 7, 56 people were killed, four suicide bombers included, in blasts on three Underground trains and a bus. A repeat attack on July 21 failed when the bombs did not detonate fully.
