#6 My money is that he is an eskimo. They have been waiting to strike at the west ever since we killed most of the whales.

#7 No, they don't care that much about whales. It's seals they depend on. But what one can do when it is forbidden to club them? The anger builds up and needs release, whether clubbing someone by a baseball bat or a bomb.

#11 Lots of details here.
The first car, which had been stolen in Scotland, was found about 2:30 a.m. parked under a blue awning near the popular Tiger Tiger nightclub, which was jammed with as many as 2,000 people on Ladies Night.

Authorities believe it was intended to be set off by remote control by a cell phone found inside. The cell phone had received at least two calls, which should have detonated several gallons of gasoline, but when the calls came in, the bomb failed to go off, the official said.

Had it done so, that blast then would have ignited six to eight tanks of propane in a mist to make a fuel-air explosion, creating a fireball the size of a small house and propelling 18 to 20 boxes of roofing nails around a large area at bullet speed, counterterrorism officials said.
...
Police did not name the three men they were seeking, but they said the men were believed to be from the Birmingham area, home to Britains second-largest Muslim population and a strong recruiting base for the controversial Muslim group Hizb ut-Tahrir, or the Party of Liberation.

They said one of the three men could be an associate of Dhiren Bharot, an Indian convert to Islam who was sentenced to life in prison last year for plotting to fill limousines with explosives similar to those found Friday and park them in garages beneath hotels and office complexes.
...
The first car was immediately recognized as a threat and disarmed at the scene. The second car, however, sat unrecognized for most of the day after it was hitched up to a tow truck and carted down Londons streets to a police impoundment lot, its deadly payload intact for the entire trip.

The two bombs were parked between Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. Map at link.

That would explain the smoke pouring out of the car.

#16 CAIR is already warning about an anti-Muslim backlash following tomorrow's scheduled attack.

They probably had advanced notice.

#17 I think Muslims are quite safe. A backlash only happens when a population is confronted with something unexpected.
