POLICE were last night hunting an Iraqi, suspected of plotting car-bomb attacks in Britain, who went on the run just days before two vehicles packed with petrol, gas and nails were found in central London.
The first device was discovered in a Mercedes parked outside one of the city's biggest nightclubs, Tiger Tiger, at about 1am when hundreds were packed inside for a ladies' night.
Police, alerted by ambulance workers who thought they saw fumes inside the car, defused the bomb.
Officers later found similar materials in a Mercedes that had been parked nearby. They said it contained gas, fuel and nails that could have been detonated and that the two cars were obviously linked.
It was reported last night that the first car, a metallic green Mercedes, was stolen in early June and was spotted first in Scotland and then in Birmingham in the two days before the bomb was defused in London.
Police say they are looking for an Iraqi who went on the run from a control order only 11 days before yesterday's failed bombing attempts. The man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is part of a six-strong cell linked to al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Give up Britain. You're done for.
The Iraqi man who went missing on 18 June was the second of his group to abscond from a control order. Last August, Bestun Salim, also absconded. Security officials now believe he has left Britain.
The six Iraqis had been living under control orders since autumn 2005. They were arrested after an MI5-led surveillance operation.
Although they were not charged with any offence, Whitehall sources have claimed they were in the final stages of planning terrorist attacks, possibly involving car bombs.
Instead of charging the men in open court and exposing sensitive intelligence, the government imposed control orders, effectively confining them to their homes for 18 hours a day.
WTH?
Good thing that we have good secure boarders! “sac off”
Now that's the way to deal with terrorists... Just keep 'em stuck at home for 18 hours a day... and then, well, yeah... How much harm can they do in the other 6 hours... I mean, they're probably tired from 18 hours of hanging around the house... So what's the chance they'll do anything bad in those other 6 hours a day... Sounds like an ideal plan to me... Maybe crank it up to 19 hours a day at home for the really bad ones, just to be sure...
re: your tagline read my tagline
..the legal reason..???..probably going to find out that a few of these utes were released because the ACLU British types, urged Blair and others,it would make nice nice. (my tagline has been in place for months)
