Probably not a scare. New reports say “massive car bomb” defused. All you limey Freepers keep your eyes open for another parked somewhere.
Probably the Quakers this time.

Exactly what I was thinking, they rarely plant them one at a time, this one was only found because a passer by thought it looked suspicious, it’s rush hour now in London the favoured time for multiple bombings, I hope people are being very careful right now.
I think it was the work of evangelical Christians myself.

Vice President Bush and his wife were scheduled to visit their Son and DIL in Midland, Texas.
A supervisor of 3 of my crews lived next door to George and Laura Bush.
Even though the neighbors were checked out, the SS ran a check to see if anybody had visitors or anything out of place.
The supervisor had just received his new leased car.
It was winter and he would start his car to warm up while he finished his coffee.
The car caught on fire and there were people running around the entire neighborhood.
An Army flatbed hauled the car away and nothing was ever explained or in the news.
He got a new lease car the same day!
