True, but I applaud that reporter because the officials are pretending like this is over even though it obviously is not.

So, I am glad that reporter is warning people not to trust the cops who are trying to avoid a panic.

Could be just the unstable but unexploded remains of the bus bomb. Since they've said this bus bomb appears to be of same design as the bus bomb of 7/7, that would strongly suggest that it didn't fully explode(given the roof is still intact.)

Psychologically, I can see the appeal of an action that says "See - just two weeks later and we hit you in exactly the same way. This time we didn't use the real bombs, but we can whenever we want to do so - nothing you've done can stop us."

They cannot confirm what the white powder is by just looking at it.

How long for anthrax to begin to affect someone??

"That's why I said it would never work. Nearly half the Congress wants the bad guys running free........"

It will get worse as time goes by as more and more of Congress will be made up by people who hate this country. I foresee a time, soon, when the President (whomever may be at that time) will no longer have the consensus of the American people to, say, wage war on our enemies.

Demographics is destiny.

I think you mean Kelly_2000. She has posted that today. It appears we have two who know someone in that hospital, and another FReeper who is 10 min. away from one of the tubes that was involved. He has posted a couple of times today. (Killing Time) He seems safe, but commented that the "tone" of the warnings seems more serious than he recalled on 7/7. I suspect we will learn just how serious as time goes on.

There is some chatter about biological/chemical attack...if that is why the area around the bus is being evacuated, etc. The Brits have a way of making things appear calm, even when they are not. I guess it is from years of practice. I, for one, am praying that there is nothing more severe that happens.

But it's pretty clear to me that what we're dealing with here is a strain of Islam - not Islam itself, not all Muslims, but a dangerous band of extremists.


Yes, but if the Muslim clerics really believe that what the terrorists are doing is contrary to Islam, let's see them start issuing fatwas against any Muslim who expresses such hateful sentiments. Actions speak louder than words.

Initial symptoms occur within a week. I believe that anthrax powder is a light-brown color, though. Not white. Anthrax info

What is a dummy explosive? One that should have detonated but didn't?



In the spirit of "conspiracy-think" I'd suggest they were dummy-bombs used to distract authorities while doing a Big Bad Thing somewhere else.

Other than that...I can't imagine- I also heard the bombs were made from the same stuff as the 07/07 bombs- and that they had poor quality "stuff"...hence the lack of firepower.

Still early in this event...
