ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A bomb made from gas cylinders, petrol and nails was found in an abandoned car in central London today, sparking a major terrorism alert.
Peter Clarke, the Scotland Yard deputy assistant police commissioner, said the device, in one the capital’s main nightlife districts, could have killed or injured many people.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Prof Clarke said it was almost certain the bomb had been meant to go off today.
“If it’s a more sophisticated Jihadi plot, there might be other devices,” he added. “What will be worrying the security services at the moment is whether this is just the tip of a bigger plot.””
