#1 The MO sure looks like Muslims to me. I doubt very much this is IRA. The responding police officer showed exceptional bravery by swiftly defusing the device. Let's hope they can trace the cell phone's SIM card.

#3 "Ahmed... what is the number?"
"Eh?"
"The number to dial... for the car bomb?"
"I thought you--"

#4 IF true it was quick thinking on the cops part for realizing the key to setting off the bomb. For all we know the bombers could have been watching and waiting for the Bomb Squad before setting it off, so this guy may have saved some of Londons finest.

#5 "the quick-thinking cop recognised that the car was wired to blow up, jumped in and disconnected the trigger device"

For which he'll probably face disciplinary action for doing a job he wasn't trained to do....

#6 Hopefully, the Brits will quietly set up another Flying Squad to hunt down said baddies and dispatch them, avoiding all the fuss and mess of a trial.

These twits probably left forensic evidence all over those cars. Perhaps they will not only whack them, but the Imam they rode in on.

#7 These assholes have money to blow up multiple mercedes? I don't even have the cash to fill up my 4cyl. jeep p.o.s.!

#8 With respect...

Of course this isn't the IRA. Those shits wouldn't do this.

And of course we still give out Victoria Crosses.

#11 Decisions, decisions, do they beep the doors locked next time they try this, wasting precious seconds where they can go boom or just leave the doors open again????

Wait - jump out the sunroof.

#12 Liberals would put forth the idea of banning cell phones rather than risk being labelled Islamophobes for suggesting that our countries eject the actual source of the problem.

#13 Liberal "thinking": Let more Muslims into the country so that the ones already here won't feel so lonely and alienated.
