#5 Police and bomb disposal teams were called in after Nicky Reilly, 22, apparently attempted to detonate a nail bomb.

Mr Reilly, who suffered serious facial injuries in the blast, is thought to have carried out the attempted attack after being 'preyed upon and radicalised' by Islamic extremists.

He was arrested at the scene and taken to hospital, where he is under armed guard, for treatment to a severely lacerated eye and facial burns.

There have been attacks on shopping centres in the West Country over the past 25 years which have been linked to animal rights extremists but sources said last night that initial inquiries suggested the incident was not connected.

An inconvenient untruth.

#9 He only got as far as the first wire, is that what you mean, Steve? Not even as far as the red wire/green wire confusion? Short bus, indeed, poor man!

#10 Must have slept thru the discussion on electro-static discharge at bomb school. But, hey, ESD is just another name for the Will of Allah (may his followers be sneered at).

#11 Think of the restaurant owner:
"no, no! It was an actual explosion in the bathroom, nothing to do with the food, believe me! Sit, eat!"

#12 There's apparently some interesting follow up going on here - the quick ID, and a public appeal to track the path backwards. It seems this "bomber" may not have been mentally ill as much as mentally retarded in some way. In other words, the police are really looking for the enablers/designers - and they may be very hot on the trail. Let's hope the press follows loudly rather than smothering it with surprised "neighbors" and "family members".
