Heheh... Perhaps like our old friend, Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) who made a fool of himself and had his advances rebutted by that Boston stripper, someone had been rejected there on a ladies night and asked allah for guidance.

Ahhh, I miss the days when a simple traditional honor killing would have been enough.

” would be a really big incendiary that would kill lots of people. “

Yeah — this is looking more and more like a pretty sophisticated (in concept, anyway) multi-stage device, with propane/nails for immediate antipersonnel effects, and gasoline to cause secondary fires over a wide area....

All that would be missing for the trifecta is a chlorine cannister....

Thank goodness something apparently went wrong with the trigger device.....

There’s a definite change of tactics here, but one of the things on my mind is the possibility of an additional target who was at Tiger Tiger last night, IF last night’s attempt was the real deal.

I wouldn't be surprised now if these crackpots have some kind of backup plan just in case the first one fails.

They've had quite a lot of failings here lately and their plans have been rumbled on many ocassions bar 7/7/2005.

Add to that the fact that the muslim population here is growing all the time (1.8m +) and you can only come to the conclusion that sooner or later one of them will slip through the net and kill many innocents.

The location is analogous to 42nd St, very close to Times Square. Have been on Haymarket numerous times in the past. Its a main thouroughfare from Trafalgar Sq. (which is always packed) and Picadilly Circus (always packed as well). The “Trocadero” that you see in the background of some of the news footage is a mall-type place in Picadilly Circus.

A gift for the new Prime Minister, no doubt.

I envision how much more troublesome the world would be with terrorists if the Serbs did not fight the mujahideen in the Balkans. They precipitated the problem and tried to fix it but were bound and gagged by outsiders that knew nothing of the blowback or did not care. I question where these morons received their encouragement from, the balkans?

I can only comprehend the influence from the Central BiH muslims and Sandjak muslims played a considerable role to facilitate this act of terror, albeit in a domino effect.

CNN is reporting that the vehicle was discovered by “happenstance”.

I heard a report on the radio that the bouncer of the club saw the driver of the car running away, and then called the police.

I think more than one may have reported it - I heard a report that said it was a cab driver that called when he saw the smoke

Johnny Edwards....will he send his wife out to claim this is just another example of ‘bumper stickers’?

Will he say anything at all?

Will he get another $400 haircut in response?

Stay tuned....
