The building next store to the nightclub was an American Express office. Looks like a ‘twofer’ to me.

device was to be set off remotely by cell phone

If confirmed, I guess by now they would have checked if it's a clean prepaid GSM SIM or not, as well as if the hardware/IMEI comes up with previous history.

Probably.

There are so many throw-away cell phones these days.

But look at the time - it was around 1 in the morning.

The sort of time the pubs and clubs start turning out during the week.

It might not have been that specific one, but it was almost certainly an attempted attack on nightlife.

Sky news reported it a little while ago, but has later reported that Fleet Street had been reopened.

I assume it was a false alarm...

Or maybe not ...

“But look at the time - it was around 1 in the morning.”

Sure, I’m not necessarily doubting it was to go off at night, but all these other cars that are being investigated must have been around a while.

I have no firm guesses on the target at all.

ITV News has just reported that they believe an explosive device was made safe in the other car.

That was just reported on their evening news show.

Looks like at least TWO bombs. (car bombs)

Propane and nails are kind of crude for the Irish. Those cats knew how to make bombs..

Unless too; this was a largely symbolic act to welcome the new PM on (?) his first day.

CNN say police and secrity sources confirm this.

They say the vehicle was originally illegally parked at/near Traflagar Square and was towed to this location.

It looks to me, as I speculated earlier in the thread, that someone was getting assets into position last night, for an attack over the weekend.

I doubt they would be dumb enough to have it registered in the perps name (probably stolen, or paid for in cash recently), but hey, stranger things have happened...

They just might be-an axle with the VIN was found in WTC part I which led to a name and storage facility rented in the perps name, IIRC..

The CNN guest on their, English accent; was saying and it makes some sense, in England and Europe; they may well have more militants in their Muslim population which is bad for them in Europe.

He was saying, here, Moslems make wages more on par with other americans; while in some of Europe they are in the ghettos; so more of a chance for terrorist thought to fester.
