I’m glad that I won’t be anywhere near any tall buildings over the Independence Day holiday.......

[USF]

Thanks for all the updates on this thread.

[Aquinasfan]

15 gallons gas and a couple of propane tanks plus the gas in the car engine

OK, thanks.

[Cindy]

You’re welcome USF.

Thanks for all the updates on this thread.

Indeed. Thanks, Cindy. I'm following this closely...as closely as I can from my desk.

I was thinking the same thing. The timing would be about perfect to have something happen here on or around a symbolic holiday.

I wonder if this is linked to the recent reports of suicide bombers “graduating” and going to europe/US

[montyspython]

Where have you been bro?

[mware]

Now reporting that the bomb at heymarket st was to be detonated remotely.

Yeo just heard this.

Also - I’m keeping track of a few news sources - fox keep mentioning a double decker bus - But I don’t believe this is the case.

The BBC has a camera trained on the veichle being searched by the robot and it doesn’t like like a bus.

Further to this, reports are now linking the two cars - could mean explosives in another car or perhaps it was used by the driver in the ealier attempt.

Was to be denotated by cell phone.

just staying on the down-low as I’m finishing up my degree in Cartography/GIS this December.

You stay safe my FReeper FRiend.

I think you are right. I am getting some of Sky News and they are not going to any bus . They keep on going to a van that looks like an ambulance, I think it may be the van with the stuff to control the robot.

[Cindy]

Yes, mware...I heard that on Fox News.

Weird using a Mercedes as the car bomb dont you think. I guess they thought it was going to be blown to atoms in the universe. There has to be some trail on that kind of car.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Good work by the police.

Meanwhile, the US Federal Government continues to ignore our borders.

Wake up folks! This coming our way too.

[mware]

Now reporting that there were a number of people at the Haymarket St who fled not one person.

[mware]

Now saying that a second car is in an underground garage. I think that is the one on Park Lane, near Hyde Part.

From the link: "This is highly unlikely to be an Irish device, given the current state of politics there. Al Qaeda tend to go for symbolic timing.”

Multiple road closures and searches of suspect vehicles looking for that hallmark muti-pronged AQ MO will be playing havoc with the Friday rush hour traffic building up now (London is 5 hours ahead of EST/EDT).

I hope the terrorists do not have other assets in place.

I still think an attack tonight would have been more effective (Tiger Tiger was not full last night, but they are often at, or past, capacity on the weekend)

Cheers FRiend.

If you can get bbc live coverage (see there news site - not sure if you can receive it there but worth a try) they have been showing the robot at work in what looks like a single line of parked cars - it looks to me to be an ordinary car but I could be wrong on that.

Its all very horrible - Like most people that live in the east of england I have alot of friends and relatives that work in central london. But these are strong people as I’m sure they will continue to show.
