" Minor explosions using detonators only.... "

WHY would they do it? Just to scare people without killing ?
To increase the terror ?

Because they are fielding the least competent soldiers on the planet.

Absolutely. This is the second time in as many weeks. There's an inevitable impact (who knows, at this time, just how significant the impact) on tourism, in particular. Most affected would be major airline carriers, hotels, restaurateurs, shop owners, etc.

I don't think that makes sense...smaller explosions allows UK officials to question how competent they are if they cant make BOOMS as big as before...that could DEcrease the terror...to increase terror they would want to cause MORE DAMAGE wouldnt they?

Unless perhaps the detonators were not linked to powerful explosives because they were intended to create more damage of another kind...perhaps dispersal of chemical or biological agents rather than 'bigger BOOMS'???

:-(
