Immigrant Olympians embraced as British when they win gold

Description

In the international papers, more details emerge about the man reported to have killed several people outside a Sikh temple, and a piece says that Sikhs in the US have been scapegoats since September 11, 2001. In the Middle East, one pundit says the US should withhold military aid to Egypt until it sorts out the security vacuum in the Sinai. Finally, at the mid-point of the Olympics, the Independent asks why UK immigrants are suddenly embraced as British - when they do well.
