British police have a "crystal clear" picture of the man who drove the bomb-rigged silver Mercedes outside a London nightclub, and officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com he bears "a close resemblance" to a man arrested by police in connection with another bomb plot but released for lack of evidence. Officials say the suspect had been taken into custody in connection with the case of al Qaeda operative Dhiren Barot (pictured), who was convicted of orchestrating a vehicle bomb plot involving targets in London, New York, Newark, N.J. and Washington, D.C.

Officials say a surveillance camera caught the suspect "staggering from the Mercedes" shortly after parking it outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub.

U.S. and British law enforcement officials tell ABC News it is increasingly clear Friday's bomb plot in London involves multliple vehicles, and is described by a senior official as a "terror plot involving lslamic extremists."

No one should be surprised at either one. The more England, Europe and the rest of the world embraces Islam, the more problems the world will have. Just a matter of time before this cult hits here.

“...it’s his friend from the other case mentioned.”

Keep it handy for the second car bomb. (I eard they found a third suspicious car, but they might just be playing it safe.

A crazed Amish, I am sure. Maybe a homicidal Catholic nun or rabid Buddhist monk.

No way that will happen here. Pelosi & Reid will have long established "Happy Islam Day" thereby soothing their low self-esteem souls. /sarc

It's the same one that is presently in post #41.

London has so many face recognition cameras and plate readers, there should have been an alarm going off that this person was in the city center.

Born a Hindu and converted to Islam...only after converting to Islam did he begin his murderous ways. Imagine that!!

A few boiled muzzie heads being picked apart by crows would likely put a stop to this crap.

They detonate bombs that they have strapped to themselves. I hardly think the fear of death is really going to stop them.
