Actually, you can only read more on Hollywood Reporter if you have a subscription and login. Although, maybe someone can try bugmenot...

So I guess this means a "breaking story" on "Questions about Rove" on tomorrow's news. And then an "oh, by the way," piece later in the broadcast on this "minor" disagreement.

Freaking ABC Again, they Pissed off Russia, now they are Pissing on our friends.

Someone needs to take them to task, they are more liberal than the Commies.

[SandRat]

First ABC ticks of Russia now the tick off British Police -- they really know how to win friends and influence enemies.

this is a CNN article from 07-27-2005 that shows the pictures of some "jar bombs" found in the trunk of a car several days after the first london bombing. these pictures have been posted on several threads here on FR.

the pictures can be viewed on the right sidebar adjacent to the article.

http://www.totse.com/en/bad_ideas/ka_fucking_boom/162155.html

the above link takes you to an internet article on the construction of "acetone peroxide detonators." the reason i went to this web page is that an article in the Belfast Telegraph

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/story.jsp?story=654560

this article contains the sentence:

"The devices, consisting of acetone peroxide packed into jam jars wrapped with a band of metal, were found in a car rented by the suicide bomber Shahzad Tanweer. It was left at the car park of Luton railway station"

and that is why i searched for acetone peroxide.

so, putting the pieces together, we have the stash of bombs in the trunk of a car, where the terrorists can retrieve them as they wish. but the bomb maker did not get good instructions, for, the article on the "acetone peroxide detonators" clearly states:

...."These detonators should be used within 7 days of their manufacture and should be stored in a cool, dry place. .." probably not good to keep them in the trunk of a car.....we have to presume that the terrorist bomb maker made a bunch of these devices, then put them in the trunk of a car, parked somewhere the others could retrieve them as needed....but the mixture was degraded by the passage of time and the heat of the sun....thus explaining why the second attack two week after the first resulted in only partial detonations.....perhaps the bomb maker did not read the instructions on the internet that i copied for you.....

so that is my understanding of what the bombs were, where they were stored, and why the second attack failed.

i am not clear, however on whether these "jar bombs" were detonators for more explosives worn on the suicide bombers themselves, or if they were the entire package.

and, i posted this information a few days ago, without the actual picures on this thread here at FR:

and it only got a few comments

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of commie liars.

Dan Blather was seen wearing a snorkle and mask... ABC is sinking fast.

[konaice]

Look, the devices were found by British Police or Scotland Yard. Police were the only people in a position to take these photos.

Its pointless to blame ABC when CLEARLY the Police LEAKED the photos.

I can't imagine any Newspaper, TV operation, (Heck, even some Freepers) who would not print these photos if they were provided by the Police - openly or clandestinly.

[MarkL]

Seems to me that ABC is trying to really get behind the terrorists, all over the world!

Between London and Russia, they're just making friends in the civilized world all over, aren't they?

[OldFriend]

Frankly, I am glad to see the pictures of the nail studded bomb. It puts the lie to the captured terrorist that they meant no harm, only to scare people.

[bvw]

Hooray for ABC. The pictures should be out in the public. The Londoner Bobbies have their knickers in a twist on this.

The public can and will help, but we need information, such as this.

[stocksthatgoup]

The authorities should suspend all interviews with ABC for at least 2 years.

[Piquaboy]

They were just doing what they could to help the terrorist.

[RandallFlagg]

Dear Scotland Yard,

Don't trust the media. Ever.

Love, RF.

[MinuteGal]

The "leak" blame-game aside, I'm glad the photos of those bombs were published. First thing people will think of is one of those giant nails splatting into their heads.

In fact, those photos should be on the front of every publication in the western world, alongside shots of the World Trade Center jumpers.

Might wake some appeasers up, if that's possible.

ABC is on the other side and rooting for the terrorists. Their intention was to say "look, see what we can do with just a few small bombs if we want to". They want to show the world that a few home grown terrorists can stand up to the great satan and win. The liberal media are traitors.
