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.

Ping! Ping!

Oh man. What happens
if Grissom finds Natalee
Holloway's prints there?!

The "Anglo-Saxons" were in the winning side of the 20th-Century major wars, such as WW1, WW2, and the Cold War. Attacking the US, Australia, and Great Britain will prove to be the end of the al-Qaida and its allies.

I suspect these unexploded bombs will supply enough clues for the British to catch the ragheads. I hope the British law enforcement will catch them dead by "suicide."

Cute. But I didn't mean 'suicide bomber'.........because whoever did it is a cold blooded murderer.

Forgive the spelling error. I'm usually more careful about things like that, lest I be ridiculed by people like you.......

Nice

Poor Natalee was shark food I fear. But, Osama's prints on something would be awesome!! Proof that he handled some of the parts from his little cave.

Phone activation would be very difficult. Many of the Underground's stations and routes do not have mobile phone service owing to their depth and construction.

[Logic n' Reason]

From Mr. Peter's book: "Whenever legal conditions permit, kill terrorists on the spot (do not give them a chance to surrender, if you can help it). Contrary to academic wisdom, the surest way to make a martyr of a terrorist is to capture, convict and imprison him, leading to endless efforts by sympathizers to stage kidnappings, hijacking and other events intended to liberate the imprisoned terrorist(s). This is war, not law enforcement!"

I hope the Brits remember what most liberal Americans have forgotten.

We need to start being cruel to the people hosting the pages of these islamic hate sites. The way these murderers are communicating is over the web. Of course, someone that hosts pages or a sight, email etc. have a physical location. Start snuffing webmasters and their families who host this stuff and I bet you would minimize the casualties of war on our side.

I was hearing about this bombing all day on the radio at work today (in NYC). Anyone find it a bit suspicious that this should occur as the G8 protestors are in London getting set to protest?

Interesting. After they collect the evidence from them and fix them up, they should attach one of them to George Galloway's Jaguar. The should save the other for the next soulless cretin who believes that appeasement will stop fascists, nihilists and thugs like the IRA.

I'm also curious about the bomb on the bus. Since the others were all on trains, I'm wondering if that was supposed to be on a train as well, but for some reason the perp was delayed, or redirected, or some such.

Maybe he was just delayed and didn't get to make his scheduled "delivery". I just hope the bastard got sent to hell when it went off.

"I spoke with a colleague this morning who is from London. She said that this morning none of the cell phones were working. Could this be because of the new technology that we have (I assume the British too) where we can put out an EMP of sorts that turns off the cell signals. They spoke of doing that during the conventions at one point."

They have software that can be used to turn off all cell phone transmitters in order to prevent anyone detonating a bomb by using a cell phone. It's not an EMP device. It's old technology.

This is excellent news. Not only did they not blow up, but now they are evidence.

Go Britain, we're behind you all the way!

[arbusto99]

Have they sealed off the chunnel? They need to lock things down quickly to prevent escape(s).

Gather several thousand people together, and you're BOUND to find several who have similar lines of thinking. ;-)

True enough, but it ranks close to synchronicity when those similar thoughts are expressed in sequential posts! Least-wise that's my humble opinion.

Condi signs the condolence book at the embassy.

Not EMP. They just turn off the cell towers to "normal" traffic, they get used for the emergency services instead. Also prevents the bastards from triggering delayed bombs designed to kill the rescue workers.

I feel for the person synchronized with me. After all, I am a blonde woman from Jersey.
