Well there you go the world is much safer now that we are winning the war on terrorism.

I will second your sentiment, my smartass was general to the point of the problem, that is, they found this, due to heightened security at home, but even in the 70s in england my bags were with me all the time or a bobby magically appeared and I was searched from asshole to shoesole before entering St. Catherine's house or any building of import.

The larger issue then, having made a tenuous peace with the IRA, england could have been fairly secure, now they--as the US have multiplied the threat.
It was not my intention to disparage the fact that lives were indeed (not probably) spared.

"Two car bombs found in West End"
 
Last Updated: Friday, 29 June 2007, 23:41 GMT 00:41 UK
 
Police have confirmed they are now investigating the discovery of two car bombs in the West End of London.
 
Police said the second device had been found in a Mercedes hours after the car was given a parking ticket in Cockspur Street and towed to Park Lane.
 
Another Mercedes, with a bomb made up of 60 litres of petrol, gas cylinders and nails, had been found outside a nightclub in Haymarket at 0130 BST.
 
Both bombs were similar, potentially viable and clearly linked, police said.

'Troubling discovery'
 
At a news conference on Friday evening, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, head of Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command, said the discovery of the second device was "obviously troubling" and "reinforces the need for the public to be alert".
 
"There was a considerable amount of fuel and gas canisters, as in the first vehicle. There was also a substantial quantity of nails," he said.
 
Speaking earlier about the first bomb, DAC Clarke said: "It is obvious that if the device had detonated there could have been serious injury or loss of life."

 Police sources said it would have caused "carnage" if it had exploded.
"International elements" were believed to have been involved with the bombs, Whitehall sources told the BBC.
 
The government's emergencies committee, known as Cobra, will be meeting on Saturday morning to discuss the attempted bombings, the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said.
 
The meeting could be chaired by either Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who is not cancelling any planned engagements, or Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.
 
Mr Brown said Britain faced "a serious and continuous threat" and the public needed "to be alert" at all times. "

'News to me, V.

How does it work? Are there any cock-sucking, beer serving, terrorist wenches who I can ring at 3 in the morning? or is it a place to confess to harbouring terrorist-like traits such as owning a beard and brandishing it in public, or is it a line to warn the authorities of the terrorist next door?

I have several on speed-dial.  How many would you like for one evening?


'Tell you what, I don't blame the authorities for resorting to this sophisitcated method of catching terrorists because the silly fuckers keep marching into innocent peoples' homes and shooting them. Not that they're too concerned about killing innocent people, of course, image is everything.

Sounds like something far less than "sophisticated" but maybe that's just me.


Think I'll ring the line tonight and tell them I've just seen Seeksfemslave running 'round Birmingham with a bomb strapped to his head shouting something about pork sausages and Allah.

Be sure and put that on Web-TV and You-Tube!

...how edifying.....a xenophobe revelling in attempted murder, because they feel it justifies their extremist views. So, just how different are you Popeye to Palestinians dancing in the streets after 9/11?........rhetorical question, you're exactly the same.
