The would-be suicide bombers gathered the night before July 21 in a flat in north Kensington in London; everything was ready for an attack that had been planned for weeks and was to be carried out with explosive devices cooked up on a kitchen stove, mixing high-strength hair bleach, nail varnish remover, acid, lightbulbs, batteries and chapati flour, the jury at Woolwich crown court heard. When the five men walked out of 14 Dalgarno Gardens the next day, Ramzi Mohammed left the remnants of a draft suicide note to his two children; evidence found later suggested a suicide video had been also filmed, the jury heard.
The suspects had allegedly chosen to detonate their bombs on the London transport system at lunchtime, avoiding the extra rush-hour security measures put in place since the July 7 bombings. In simultaneous attacks, they touched the wires of their home-made bombs to battery connectors in their rucksacks at around 12.30pm, the jury was told. But the devices failed.

Mr Sweeney said Mr Omar had disguised himself as a Muslim woman in a burka and taken a coach to Birmingham the following day. He was arrested standing fully clothed in the bath with a rucksack on his back.
Mr Ibrahim and Mr Mohammed hid at the flat in Dalgarno Gardens, where they were arrested eight days later. Mr Asiedu, who allegedly dumped his bomb in Little Wormwood Scrubs, went to the police to explain his role, but lied, according to the prosecution.
Brilliant escape plans as well. You'd think they would have made such plans just in case everything didn't go as planned and they didn't all blow themselves up.
Probably just a bunch of liberal voters lived there, anyway. ;-)
Light bulb- minus the glass- is probably the "detonator." The flour is probably to make the stuff easier to handle, like putty. Not that I have a clue of course. I just played an Islamic terrorist on halloween once.
Hey, actually I apologize. I didn't think that people hadn't watched it already -- glued to the set like I was. On the upside, there are 20 more hours to go.
