This can only mean one thing. Brits and Aussies will have to give up their grills, and Americans will be required (initially) to register them with the State Police in their respective jurisdictions.
RVers are just SOL.
ha ha!! You can’t make a decent bomb you stupid f_—s!
And you wasted 2 perfectly good Mercedes. Hope you kept the receipts! See you in hell!
~And they already would have set both vehicles off.
This is a test to see how the new Prime Minister is going to react. I’ll bet that AlQueda sends a message to the UK to the effect that: This is what could happen, we are here. So give up and make nice or else.
Drawing and quartering is no longer in fashion, is it...
..or breaking on the wheel.

The first car, which was parked under a blue awning near the popular Tiger Tiger nightclub, just 50 yards from Trafalgar Square, was jammed with gasoline and 18 to 20 boxes of roofing nails. Six to eight tanks of propane, intended to mix with the gasoline in a mist to make a fuel-air explosion, were inside and around the car, counterterrorism officials told NBC News.
Clarke told reporters that the second car was similarly laden with explosives and nails.
U.S. officials told NBC that the devices appeared designed to create a highly explosive bomb of the type that had been seen in Iraq but not, until now, in the West.
Islamist terrorist suspects convicted in recent London cases have spoken of moving up to more deadly fuel-air explosives, authorities said. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair said earlier this year that “vehicle-borne weaponry is the greatest danger that we can face.”
The cars are reported to be stolen.
They have some psych department in those caves.
Setting the bombs off would have ticked the Brits off unlike the Spaniards who just cowered.
This gives the Brits time to think about consequences.
Consider too that the terrorists call the cell phone twice, trying to set off the bomb. Thank God they’re not very good at this.
I believe you're forgetting one thing. The Brit's use of surveillance cameras in identifying and apprehending the perp will result in the the call for federally funded and monitored CCTV cameras every 100 ft. throughout the continental US (with the exception of a 50-mile exclusion zone along the US/Mex border.)
Wow... that is really something!
I guess that new iPhone isn't all it's blown up to be ;-)
Oh, tsk tsk.
They MUST be mistaken, INDEED!
It’s . . . well, it’s merely an early . . . uhhhh
4th of July bit of fireworks in celebration of America’s National Independence Day.
A bit insulting to The Queen, really. But not much more weighty than that.
After all . . . it’s from the Religion of Peace, you know—just ask . . . what’s his dork . . . oh, yeah, Prince Charles.
Tsk tsk.
STTM
[/sar to the max]
Wow! I've had my a$$ kicked into last Sunday before, but 200 years...
That cop who took the cell phone from the first vehicle is more of a hero than anybody knows.
I hope so.
But I’m thinking . . . they are toooo zombied out somehow, for some reason . . . the only thing they get upset about nowadays is if tea is late or the witty anti-Americanism is too weak.
"International elements" involved in London bomb plot... Hmmm. Methodists from Phoenix?
"Police avert car bomb 'carnage,'" from the BBC, with thanks to Mao:
...Police were alerted by an ambulance crew who saw smoke coming from the silver Mercedes, parked near the Tiger Tiger nightclub.
"International elements" are believed to be involved, the BBC has been told.
Police sources say it is quite possible the device failed to ignite - and might have been minutes away from exploding.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, head of Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command, said: "It is obvious that if the device had detonated there could have been serious injury or loss of life."...
But of course, according to our congress, the important thing is to shut down Guantanamo and not hurt the terrorists’ feelings anymore.
I'm starting to get the impression that these people aren't at all concerned about their carbon footprint.
