“Two car bombs found in West End”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Police have confirmed they are now investigating the discovery of two car bombs in the West End of London.
Police said the second device had been found in a Mercedes hours after the car was given a parking ticket in Cockspur Street and towed to Park Lane.
Another Mercedes, with a bomb made up of 60 litres of petrol, gas cylinders and nails, had been found outside a nightclub in Haymarket at 0130 BST.
Both bombs were similar, potentially viable and clearly linked, police said.
‘Troubling discovery’
At a news conference on Friday evening, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, head of Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command, said the discovery of the second device was “obviously troubling” and “reinforces the need for the public to be alert”.
“There was a considerable amount of fuel and gas canisters, as in the first vehicle. There was also a substantial quantity of nails,” he said.
Speaking earlier about the first bomb, DAC Clarke said: “It is obvious that if the device had detonated there could have been serious injury or loss of life.”

Police sources said it would have caused “carnage” if it had exploded.
“International elements” were believed to have been involved with the bombs, Whitehall sources told the BBC.”
