London fucking, part II - Electric Boogamaloo

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/07/21/london.tube/index.html

4 explosions, 3 in stations, 1 in a bus.

Yeah I just caught this a few minutes ago in another forum. Could this be a copycat since they are smaller…?

I’m awfully glad that George Bush has been informed though.

I heard that they weren’t bombs. Only blasting caps.

That is a tactic that terrorists have used before.

Its cheap, easy, and scares the shit out of people just as much.

I’d wager it’s a copycat, different bombing equipment, and terrorists aren’t precise enough to attack in a pattern. Exactly two weeks after, no.

I don’t think I really agree with that last part. How many times have you heard of terrorists blowing up cars at the same time in Iraq at different locations. I think they can be pretty darn precise.

Bastards. At least there weren’t any casulties this time.

I’m begining to wonder whether it will ever be safe in London, again.

Luckily I don’t live there, but still.

Didn’t blow up this time. I’ve heard a “bomb expert” (didn’t catch his name) that said that the type of the explosives were such that if they were made the same time as the ones two weeks ago, they would have degraded now so that they wouldn’t blow up if set off.

Maybe they’re running out of explosives. :stuck_out_tongue:

Let’s just hope that this ends soon. I’m going to be going to London in a few weeks and I don’t want to die while I’m there.

Well, the police did the right thing in that case. Even if he wasn’t a terrorist, he was just incredibly stupid, wearing a giant coat, jumping barriers and running for the train, and all of this when people are already on edge.

There’s no time to think in a situation like that. They were right to shoot the guy. He could have had a bomb strapped to his chest.

Well, one witness did say he did have wires sticking out of his belt with something strapped to it, so I don’t know what else it could be

They killed Batman! :bowser:
