He probably asn't trying to kill himself. Looks like was transporting a detonator to another location and it went off prematurely.

I say old chap, quite the sticky wicket you're in.

Lol, I couldn't help but think of Terry Thomas when I read this. A little "humour" on this otherwise serious topic.

Latest witness is describing the man as an Asian youth (contradicting the earlier witness who hinted he was white).

"Asian" is Brit-speak for middle-eastern, isn't it?

If they have proof of the perpetrator in the hospital, they need to stop all medical procedures, take them outside in front of the crowd and put one bullet in the back of the head.

"Columbia Road - reference to the space shuttle Columbia disaster?"


DC is the District of Columbia.

It has been a while since I have used cordite, but it is a very slow burning powder. I bet the bombers didn't realize that it would make a bad detonator.

Agreed.

I highly doubt any bio incident occurred here.

Just amateurs who screwed up.

No way this is Al Queda. Al Queda doesn't "bomb" their attacks.

'Asian' in UK parlance tends to mean Indian/Pakistani or Bangladeshi rather than Thai/Chinese or whatever.

So probably Pakistani like last week rather than Arab.

I am SOOOOO glad I have already got my hotel room for the evening (and am in it) - Travel home from London could be awkward again tonight.

If so, the bomb maker screwed up bad. Fortunately for all concerned, except him.

COBRA (?) meeting in progress.

Blair, Cabinet, Military and Police officials, to determine how to react to this.

"CNN: "Casualties are low."

So is CNN's ratings.

The British vocabulary is different than ours so might need an "interpretation" of sour.

Aye, especially when it comes to food. You Americans are great people, but you have no sense of taste whatsoever.

What you call "American Cheese", I call "inert matter".

What you call "sour", I call "cardboard".

What you call "beer", I call "seltzer mixed with piss".

What you call "Wonder Bread", I call "what the hell is that??"

I could go on forever =P

NO one on this forum disagrees with that statement.

You're right, and this is not the thread for the arguement. Maybe on another thread another time.

More dark humor:

Q: What's a "moderate" muslim?

A: He'll only saw your head half off.

Yep the bomb maker shouldn't worry about Scotland Yard, as much as he should worry about his superiors finding him.

"If they have proof of the perpetrator in the hospital, they need to stop all medical procedures, take them outside in front of the crowd and put one bullet in the back of the head."

Bad idea. These cowards usually break down and tell authorities whatever they can.
