Bombings Blast London again


I am not going to rehash all that's been said already, just sending out a thought and good wishes to all the English board members.

Hmm, the BBC is saying that the explosions where caused by detonators only...no bomb. Only one person was injured and he may have been holding a sack containing a device. I don't get it, what was the point? Terrorists usually like to cause massive amounts of mayhem and death; that is how they cause terror. I don't think they are that technically non-profficient to not know that detonators alone couldn't do that. It's like they thought they could scare people with firecrackers.

Wierd.

Woah, that's seriously wrong isn't it ? Unless I am completely out of date, there was only the one injury this time. All the bombs were supposed to go off, but didn't, just detonators. This is great news for the police, as it means the explosives are intact and they can examine how, wehere, when they were made.

Unknown as to whether they are actually linked to the 7th July blasts, or some other group doing a copycat mission to jump on the widespread publicity of the 7th July bombings.

Police were not treating it with as high as a priority as the 7th July blasts. Underground was on amber alert, which meant all trains continued to the next station and then people got off.

Although the eary silence was around, it was supposed to be a lot calmer than the 7th July blasts.

Police chased a suspect and heavily armed police are in one of the hospitals where original victims of 7th July blasts are being treated.

Most reports so far were all confirmed, including nail bombs being sent off, panic and the amount of casualties....

That article was last updated on the 8th so it has to be talking about the previous attack that involved much larger explosions. This latest one apparently was detonators only: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4703777.stm

The minor explosions - two weeks after blasts killed 56 - involved detonators only, a BBC reporter said. There was one injury.
I'm sure we will find out more as the story evolves.

Apparently nobody was hurt in this incident . so thats cool . However we now need to be on a strong war footing . this is getting very serious , hitting our big city is hitting our economy .What sickens me though is that these muslims that get caught , dont get hung like they should , they get banged up in Prison and kept in comfort by the hardworking British taxpayer . this scum should be fed to pigs .As ive said before the UK has a serious problem with Migrants , they flood in through the Tunnel , or come over the channel on whatever they can sail in ! . nearly all of these illegals have no money , have no skills , nothing . its these people that turn into fanatics and attempt to destroy our once great land .I think its very sad , but i put all the blame on our soft government ,and Jack Straw"himself and immigrant" who dropped our strong border control years ago . Unfortunatly this will fuel the BNP , and no doubt we will see reprisals .and then we will be in another dark chapter

I know all about how this shit hurts the economy. The ones sticking up for these fucks have nothing to lose. It took NYC quite a while to recover. I feel for you guys. I am also pissed cuz this nonsense keeps delaying my trip to the London office

That's all well and good except that, at least in the case of the last bombing, all of the bombers where citizens and not illegals turned fanatic.

In America illegals come here to work because they think they will have better luck finding good paying work...and they are probably right. They don't turn to fanaticism and we actually depend on them to do things like harvesting in California. Those comming in that do us harm are already fanatics who have come in for the purpose of doing us harm. They come in through normal channels and pass customs, or at least they all have in the past.

Being against illigal migration is one thing, but in this area at least I think you are giving such people an undeserved label. I am sure a terrorist could use this avenue for insertion but so far they haven't needed to and have had better luck using legal means to enter the countries they attack like the UK and US or where already there to begin with. There is actually more risk comming in as an illegal than there is to just walk through customs.
