The streets surrounding the car bomb incident are eerily familiar to those who followed the Litvinenko saga last fall and this spring. But there are also parallels to the terrorist ring the UK recently rounded up as well:
The potentially devastating attempted car bomb attack today is a disturbing echo of the plans of master al Qaeda terrorist Dhiren Barot.

One plan was to pack three cars with gas cylinders and explosives and detonate them in car parks beneath targets in London and New York.

Plenty explosive...
If they are filled with propane gas they could be one of the biggest explosives one can think of. Propane gas is incredibly powerful when it blows up.
The bomb set off outside a Bali nightclub in 2002 killing over 200, including 88 Australians, was partly fueled by gas cylinders.
