British police have a "crystal clear" picture of the man who drove the bomb-rigged silver Mercedes outside a London nightclub, and officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com he bears "a close resemblance" to a man arrested by police in connection with another bomb plot but released for lack of evidence. Officials say the suspect had been taken into custody in connection with the case of al Qaeda operative Dhiren Barot (pictured), who was convicted of orchestrating a vehicle bomb plot involving targets in London, New York, Newark, N.J. and Washington, D.C.
Officials say a surveillance camera caught the suspect "staggering from the Mercedes" shortly after parking it outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub.
U.S. and British law enforcement officials tell ABC News it is increasingly clear Friday's bomb plot in London involves multliple vehicles, and is described by a senior official as a "terror plot involving lslamic extremists."

Officials say the cell phones failed to initiate the explosions, even after each phone had been called twice.Somebody got real lucky here.

Their liberals probably fought for his release, so he could act again.

Total surprise!
I thought he would look more like my 70+ mother-in-law who was frisked at the airport because her knee replacements set of the metal detector.

"Thank you for posting the pic!" I had it pulled. That's not the suspect...it's his friend from the other case mentioned.

Second car, a Mercedes, discovered to have bomb in it also. They are using expensive wheels these days ... guess it helps them avoid being stopped!

It's a damned shame that the only thing the Traitors Gate is used for anymore is attracting tourists.
A few boiled muzzie heads being picked apart by crows would likely put a stop to this crap.

One less democrat party activist regularly posting at Daily Kos.
A few thousand more al Queda operatives, oops I meant Kos kids, to go.

Incompetent local Muzzies.
Didn't have help thanks to the global war disrupting their networks.
It would have been much worse without the ongoing efforts.
