British authorities were seeking three men Friday after police defused two car bombs that they said could have caused “significant injury or loss of life” in London.

The three men are believed to be from the Birmingham area, a center of radical Islamic unrest in Britain, U.S. officials who had been briefed on the developments told NBC News.

Police said the two cars, a light green and a light blue Mercedes-Benz, were found early Friday morning in London’s theater district. The green Mercedes was defused at the site. The blue Mercedes was not discovered to be a threat until early Friday evening, after it had been issued a parking ticket and towed to an impoundment lot near Hyde Park.

“These vehicles are clearly linked,” said Peter Clarke, chief of Britain’s antiterrorism police. “The discovery of a second bomb is obviously troubling.”

The car bombs were similar to highly destructive explosives used in Iraq and could have killed scores of people, U.S. and British officials told NBC News. British officials warned that the country was facing a “serious and sustained” terrorist threat.

Don’t count out the Amish, they could be behind this.

Yup. We’re going to pay for lax immigration enforcement.

/sarc on: They must have some serious issues with the general population. I’m trying to think of what we’ve done lately that might have upset them to do this. We’ve got to be more sensitive and aware. /sarc off

We. We. Not those who allowed this.

THAT is because there is no accountability in Washington.

I figure this is a test of the new PM. If he pulls out of iraq in the next 30-60 days, we'll know exactly what he's made of.

As usual the plots are figured out eventually. Frigen clowns should live in camel shit huts in al Mahmudiya in 130 degree summers with no clean water. Perhaps they would thank their stone idol they live in a country that offers them so many comforts and freedoms.
