Latest poll results show that two-thirds of Britons think there is a link between the London bombings and the war in Iraq.

In a new poll conducted for the Guardian newspaper by a polling company from July 15 to 17, a random sample of 1,005 adults aged from 18 were asked "to what extent, if at all, Tony Blair's decision to invade Iraq was responsible for the bombings."

Some 33 percent of the interviewees said the Prime Minister bears "a lot of responsibility" for the attacks.

Another 31 percent said he bears "a little" responsibility. And 28 percent said his decision was not responsible for the atrocities.

According to the poll, 75 percent thought that further attacks by British suicide bombers in the UK were likely. Another 11 percent said they did not think there would be.

The poll comes after the British government rejected an influential think-tank report that said Britain's role in the Iraq war left it more vulnerable to terror attacks like the July 7 bombings which has killed so far 56.

There was "no doubt" that the invasion of Iraq caused particular difficulties for Britain and the wider coalition against terrorism, claimed the report.

The government has criticized the report from the formerly Royal Institute of International Affairs.

Meanwhile, the government has decided to scale back its troops stationed in Iraq over the next 12 months to take over responsibility for security in the country.

Britain currently has about 8,500 troops in Iraq.
