BRITISH police are considering the possibility that the four key suspects in last week's London attacks may have been tricked into setting off their bombs, a newspaper has reported.
"We do not have hard evidence that the men were suicide bombers," a Scotland Yard spokesman told The Sunday Telegraph. "It is possible that they did not intend to die." According to the paper, one police hypothesis is that the bombers were tricked by a "master" who told them they would have time to escape - when in fact the devices were set to go off immediately.
"The bombers' masters might have thought that they couldn't risk the four men being caught and spilling everything to British interrogators," an unnamed security official told the Telegraph.
Lending weight to the theory is the fact that all four men had paid up their parking tickets before boarding a train at Luton for King's Cross, and that they all bought return tickets to the capital.
Moreover, the paper said, the men were carrying their explosives inside rucksacks, as opposed to strapped to their bodies as is common practice among suicide bombers.
None were reported to have cried "Allah Akbar" (God is Greatest) before setting off their charge - something which most Middle Eastern suicide bombers do.
What a delightful piece of disinformation.
This leads me to look at the media and what is their intentions...why are they reporting this as fact... are they setting someone up or is it (which I believe) that they trying to quell the "angry citizens" to stop them in retaliatory measures against Mosques, muslim fa miles etc.
This article is a calculated ploy...reeks with social engineering...
This leads me back to further cynicism...
these poor little BRIT lads were nothing more than "criminals, bombers", and NOT terrorists. (yeah right!)
AHHH shades of political correctness having to be put in place before they can come up with a politically correct ROOT CAUSE(s)...
NOW that they are coming up with a "root cause" which is looking more like "poor misguided Brit lads" looking for a little excitement that crosses over into an appalling crime, then the root cause is WHAT...
Hanging out with angry muslim men (masters) maybe be bad for your (mental & physical) health
Accepting packages from people "masters" maybe hazardous to your health
Bored young men who practice Islam are susceptible to brain washing
Young Islamic men who may have struggles with "mental illness" are easy prey for angry muslim "masters"
"Masters" are "really evil" and that the "poor hapless lads" were "mildly evil
If Gr. Brittan weren't in Iraq and Afghanistan there would be more Christian males back in the streets of London to help unbrainwash the "poor misguided muslim slaves" since they might be able to help wrench them away from the "masters".
It is a damn shame that the media reports ANYTHING about the criminals that is any more than the following...
"Four Muslim Terrorists saved the tax payers court costs and docket time thanks to them possessing heads full of mush"...
This story is wrong. Here's why:
The bus bomber's bomb went off later, after the other bombs.
He was *with* the backpack at the time. A witness said he was fiddling furiously with the backpack prior to its exploding... he was trying to get it to work after it failed to go off.
Had they been 'unintentional' suicide bombers, that 4th backpack would have been left alone. And it would have been found.
Clearly, the bomber knew they had to be suicide bombers to 'assure' the 'package' gets 'delivered'.
Have to admit...when he is sarcastic he is a master at it!
Even if not true I believe that this type of info needs to be put out there as plausible as possible in order to discourage other would be terrorists. Not all would be discouraged but some would.
The terrorists met in Luton which is where they parked their car, then caught the train into London together. There is an airport in Luton and although they boarded the train at the town station rather than the airport it is a station where a mixed group of youngish people with backpacks buying one way tickets would not have caused any surprise at all.
I agree...they are doing it because they are currently having problems with the WASPS (so unPC but makes my point) that burning mosques and intimidating muslim folks...the Brits are trying to "social engineer" this crime to include as many "victims" as possible...muslim appeasement...CAIR must be proud...
"WHERE is the media receiving this "fact" about timers and escape time...it still looks like speculation in my book."
It is speculation, that's why it's described in the link as 'one police hypothesis'.
Obviously they continue to follow other lines of investigation as well.
It really makes no difference. Whether or not they intended to die, they were still murdering Islamic scum. Therefore, I am glad they died too, if all of the other innocents had to die. I just wish that they had been caught before it happened. This comes from the "religion of peace."
I am more interested in the "social engineering" the dispensing of "media controlled printed prozac"...
In a way, that makes them worse. Not only stupid, but murderous. They were perfectly willing to murder and maim dozens other innocent people.
Do you think they really could have been duped?
All Muslims are duped.
I do think it's a little weird that none of them left murder/suicide videos to glorify themselves...
it's an interesting theory, even if it's only that.
Make that two aspirin.
So they didn't intend to blow themselves up, but they definitely intended to blow up a whole bunch of other people. That would make them mass murderers in my book.
an absolute truth!

sorry.
but this morning I heard on FOX News that one of the homicide bombers had 6 more bombs in his car trunk left at the train station parking lot.
So why would he have left that there? If it's true - di they think they would be able to leave the backpaks there, escape before the explosion and then set off more bombs later?
Just thought that was odd...
the round trip ticket thing is not as suspect, since they would prob not want to arrouse any suspicion...didn't the 911 murderers only buy one way tickets?
