[history]
July 7, 2005 U.S. authorities tell ABC News that British police have recovered two unexploded bombs from the scene of the terror attacks in London.
In addition, British investigators say that parts of timing devices have been recovered from the blast scene that would have been used to detonate an explosive device. This could provide evidence that would help determine who was behind the attacks, sources told ABC News.

I guess we FReepers are like minded after all.

It's a British Government restriction. We got an internal email at work which informed us that there'll be no more wireless calls to the UK until further notice.
I guess the Brits are preventing any cell-triggered bombs and disrupting terrorist communications.

Wonder if this is the "suspicious package" they found at Victoria Station?

LOL!
Gather several thousand people together, and you're BOUND to find several who have similar lines of thinking.
;-)
Let's hope they get something from the bombs that gives them skads of info.

UXB in the Brit series that was on PBS a few years ago, which dfwg was probably referring to.

I thought that at first too. But someone on TV suggested today that it was probably planned that way. That they counted on people fleeing the subways and jumping on buses, so they hit a bus too, to increase the "terror."
To: LexHoskin
I keep wondering if the plan was to bomb whichever city got the 2012 Olympics.

The "new technology" is called shutting down the network. It would take less than a minute to shut the networks down if such an emergency had been planned for.
To: LexHoskin
There were two separate warnings about Victoria Station. The first was a bomb threat, the second was for a suspicious package. Maybe that did turn out to be something after all.

I agree. Though horrific, this is not a mass casualty attack that AQ has been bragging about for years...this is amateur style terror attack.

Um, homocide bomber? (If a male gives another maile AIDS, is that considered homocide?)
If you meant "homicide bomber", that seems redundant...
Maybe "suicide bomber"?

Did anyone hear one of the talking heads, perhaps even Manning or Straw, saying awhile ago that it was British secret service policy to disable all cell phones immediately after a terrorist attack?

ABC news needs to get with the program--we knew that this morning.
Maybe if they reported it earlier, they would have had to admit it was TERRORISM!
