Thank goodness that whatever the device was, it didnt go off.
That is the most important thing.

As has been said already, I think we do need to be extra careful at the moment, especially in the lead up to 7/7.

Werent people arrested for that? It turned out to be a plot of some kind didnt it?

Nor Can I, I might be confusing it with the 2006 plot.

Perceived threat, but I can't remember if anything was ever disclosed, besides it was personally authorised by TB.

He's not going to get his deposit back on those gas tanks :-)

Re: London bomb made safe
 

Nope. And seeing the story has changed somewhat to being the ambulance crew say the car with smoke in it I may have to change my initial opinion.

Re: London bomb made safe
 

eh? I've read that sentence 3 times and still aint got a clue what you're on about!

Re: London bomb made safe
 

Well initially the story was someone had crashed the car into the bins and done a runner.
A bit later on the story changed to being that an ambulance crew were called to Tiger Tiger (if its anything like the one in Glasgow a vet might have been more appropriate) and while treating someone noticed a car nearby with smoke coming from it.

Re: London bomb made safe
 

yikes - thanks, I understand now.

Re: London bomb made safe
 

Just heard DAC Peter Clarke (Head of New Scotland Yard's Counter Terrorism Command) confirming that a second and very similar car bomb was left in a neighbouring street last night. Apparently it was towed away to a car pound due to a routine parking offence and later found by police to contain similar explosives.

Re: London bomb made safe
 

:rofl:
Sorry, just had an image of someone going to collect their car from the pound after paying their fine only to have it destroyed by the car with a bomb in it (with no one getting hurt of course).
That would be a seriously bad day!

Re: London bomb made safe
 

And so on the one hand we have a preoccupied ambulance crew attending to a load of drunk clubbers staggering out of Tiger Tiger at 2am but still with enough spare wits to spot something wrong with the first car ... while on the other hand we have some jobsworth council traffic 'warden' who lifted the car onto the back of his lorry without at any point thinking there was anything strange about all the cans of petrol and gas loaded into it. :erm:
