British police have disabled a car bomb

By Faiz Shakir on Jun 29th, 2007 at 6:29 am

British police have disabled a car bomb

in the heart of central London. “The area was cordoned off while police examined what they described as a ‘potentially viable explosive device.’” The BBC reports “the timing was significant coming a day after Gordon Brown became prime minister, and with the second anniversary of the July 7 bombings approaching.”

    I wonder if it was one of the guys we had to let out of Gitmo because of bleeding heart liberals.


  2. Tobey Tall says:

    Brown takes office – 3 UK troops killed in Iraq – How can he spin this

    when has a car bomber crashed a car into wheely bins and then run off

    this is British propaganda to keep a hard stance on the Iraq war


  3. Tobey Tall says:

    lies lies lies lies lies

    Spin for Brown to take a hard stance on NOT withdrawing britsh troops


  4. Gaydar3000 says:

    It’s kind of funny that for you people it’s always “lies” and “propaganda”. It’s as if there really weren’t people out there who’re actually trying to hurt us. Do you think July 7 bombings were propaganda and lies, too?


  5. Tobey Tall says:

    July 7 bombings

    The Bomber who did this said on video that because of us killing his Muslim brothers in Iraq . he did this bombing

    what does that say Gaydar3000 ( mr MI5 spinner)

    Comment by Gaydar3000″

    Hey gayguy, the Sixties called, they want their epithet back.

    Aren’t we fighting them “over there” so we won’t have to fight them “over here”? And yes, I would consider london “over here.”


  7. Tobey Tall says:

    gas bottle found in car
    petrol found in car
    a couple nails

    quite normal for a gas driven car to have this inside

    what were the nails

    probably tacks that were to pin the dashboard down

    NEXT – - timing devise found in car

    probably the clock on the dashboard

    remember the story suitcase of explosives found in the woods and these guys were going to take down 10 airliners – was bullshit after all

    turned out to be a black rubbish bag dumped in the woods with an old clock in the bag, none of the guys had passports,

    the suicide notes turned out to be wills written 10 years previously

    ————————-

    another bullshit scare tactic – to justify BROWN staying in Iraq


  8. JustJohn says:

    Yeah, I suppose I should also wake up in total fear, post some fear messages and go hide under my bed……..

    Yeah right!

    All cuz
    ‘there’s people out there who’re actually trying to hurt us’


  9. Tobey Tall says:

    no all because Bliar and Bush are trying to steal other countries natural resources

    ————

    this story is to justify a hard stance by Brown lips or Bushes arse to stay in Iraq


  10. Man says:

    Yet another failure by liberals. Terrorists with bombs are running free in the center of a major city. Anyone NOT on my ignore list, please feel free to explain again how your liberal politics will protect us from them?

    my god the spin doctors in America are up early


  12. Think Prostate says:

    Nothing to see here, move along, its nothing.

    Probably some Protestant who got pissed-off because a Bible was dropped in Jerusalem; Christians do this sort of thing all the time, you know.


  13. GOP leaker says:

    my god the spin doctors in America are up early

    Or we’re working shifts.
    Or we’re an international organization.
    Or we’re insomniacs / meth-heads.

    Anyway, the pay is good.

    The savages have an excuse for everything. They can always fall back on the Danish cartoons if they have to.


  15. dumbstruck says:

    How do you disarm a “potential” bomb?

    Either it’s a bomb or it’s not.

    In a couple of weeks they’ll quietly announce it wasn’t a bomb and the “conservative chicken littles” hiding under their beds will miss hearing the truth – again.


  16. Man says:

    How do you disarm a “potential” bomb?

    The same way I was taught to do it in the Army. You take away the explosives.


  17. $5 whore says:

    In a couple of weeks they’ll quietly announce it wasn’t a bomb and the “conservative chicken littles” hiding under their beds

    Meanwhile the liberal chicken-littles will continue their hysterical frothings that Bush is about to name himself dictator-for-life and that liberals will have to go into hiding to avoid the gulags.

    Welcome to Lib Landâ„¢, where everything is sensible but nothing makes sense. Choose a color and the sky will change to suit you.


  18. dumbstruck says:

    Expolsives or potential explosives?

  20. Man says:

    In this case, you’d remove the gas.


  21. Tobey Tall says:

    bullshit more right wing news to cover that fact America has lost more than a hundren troops for the first three consecutive months in a row and to keep (PM) Brown nose on a right wing stance with Iraq


  22. $5 whore says:

    I know you don’t have much to work with until Rush comes on, but try to keep it on topic.

    Howooop, you tried to make a funny, good for you. Those matchbook-cover classes are really paying off.

    From the looks of this site, Id say I have plenty to work with, even if most of it and most of you creep me out.


  23. Tobey Tall says:

    why did the car driver crash into wheely bins and run away – another drunk driver in a gas driven car that starts with petrol and a couple of tacks holding the dashboard on


  24. Tobey Tall says:

    yahoo news

    Explosives-packed car defused in London

    call a gas bottle Explosives ha ha ha ha


  25. $5 whore says:

    bullshit more right wing news to cover that fact America has lost more than a hundren troops for the first three consecutive months

    Youre not very good at this, are ya Tobes? Advice: lay off huffing that gold-flake and clear whats left of your skull-nerf.

    You see, the army has gone on the wide offensive (that means they are attacking) so casualties are going to be higher; its been true in every war since Cro Magnon shoved a deer antler into the eye of Neanderthal.


  26. Tobey Tall says:

    Explosives-packed car defused in London

    packed with gasoline, nails, gas cylinders, and a detonator.

    Oh now tha clock on the dashboard is a detonator >>> what next

  29. Tobey Tall says:

    The car bomb found in London’s West End contained 60 litres of petrol, a large amount of nails and several gas canisters, police have revealed.

    60 litres of petrol > quite normal for a car

    several gas canisters > Oh so now there small gas canister for camping


  30. Theworldarewatching says:

    This bomb device was planted by the CIA to alert the british people and scare them to death, making impossible for the new prime minister to pull off Iraq. It´s George Bush, or his puppet master, Dick Vader.

    What are these “ignore lists” you people keep referring to ?

    Given that such a thing appears to be unsupported by the code in the cookies here and that there are no accounts to allow server-side customisation, you would appear to be talking shit.


  32. Zooey's Stunt Double says:

    I always buy nails and large amounts of fuel at the same time. Why just the other day I went to SuperAmerica and bought 900 pounds of fertilizer and 100 gallons of diesel fuel…oh and Slurpee© too (grape).


  33. Tobey Tall says:

    London Bomb – Cui Bono?
    Whoever was behind the apparent car bomb in London, it almost certainly wasn’t the police explosives experts who made it safe, and we should acknowledge the heroism it takes to do that job.

    Peter Clarke, the Met’s anti-terrorism point man, gavea press conference claiming he was not going to speculate, but then doing everything he could to indicate it was an Islamic plot. He referred to other recent cases, including the Barot case, in which night clubs were mentioned as targets, and the use of gas canisters in cars discussed. The one bit of modus operandi pointing another way – the fact it wasn’t a suicide bomber – he was at pains to explain away by speculating that the driver had lost his nerve.

    Of course the last time a nail bomb was actually exploded among clubbers in Central London, it was by a homophobic fascist. So it is right to keep an open mind. But whoever did this, the only people who can possibly benefit are the vast and ever-burgeoning security industry of all kinds, and those who want discord between the Islamic World and the West. Unfortunately, the extremists on all sides are strengthened by this incident.

    Brown had already made plain he supports further anti-civil liberties legislation. This produces just the kind of febrile atmosphere in which that can be done. The television news is already pushing 90 day detention without charge again.

Eventually he got busted stealing a real korean war veteran’s bio off the internet and he disappeared for a while. the fact that he can’t keep his various personas straight should tell you all you need to know about his intelligennce. the fact that he is a proven plagiarist should tell you all you need to know about his honesty.

    I suppose you have heard the story about the boy who cried wolf. Well this is an example of the unintended consequences of crying wolf too many times. The people in this country and Britain have a hard time believing anything we are told these days because we have been told so many lies in the past.

    And, of course there are people out there who want to kill us. But it is not because they are jealous of our freedoms, it is because they are sick and tired of us playing the world’s bully, they are tired of us killing their friends and family (mostly innocent victims) and they are tired of us sticking our nose into other people’s business.

    Typical liberal know-it-all.

    Note: They were busy planning attacks even when Clinton was in office, even when we were enjoying that supposed “peacetime” throughout the 90’s. They finally carried out their plans just months after President Bush settled into office.

    You “cry wolf” by constantly downplaying the threat of terrorism. We should proceed without you if that’s how you’ll continue to go about it.

    The timing of this is perfect, ever think that the radical islamist like the current leadership of their enemies. Ever put your self in the shoes and brains of our enemies. Ever wondered what you would do if your neighborhood has forgien troops going through it, even if you were a moderatly peaceful person. Look what the Norwegians did during World War II. The Bush/Blaire attack plan is great for converting moderate muslims into holy warriors, a bomb now could lead to a “reaction” that actually helps the Al Quedea nuts achieve their goal, so everyone slow down and use some situational awareness.

    3> From CNN:

    “Explosives officers discovered the fuel and nails attached to a “potential means of detonation,” inside the vehicle. Officers “courageously” disabled the trigger by hand, he said.”

    I say BULLSHIT!!!!! These cops acting like Bruce Willis in Die Hard 11? YAY FOR THE HEROES!!

    Oh I have no doubts we’ll be attacked again, Americas wonderful murdering attitude has made more enemies than Hitler. Thanks Bush!


  54. david says:

    Well, it is curious. One has to wonder if it was planted by Islamists wanting to show Brown what to expect if he changed course or by the CIA to show Brown what to expect if he changed course.

    When the police shot and killed that Brazilian electrician, I knew at once that something wrong had happened. And, reading this article in the Guardian made me think this was more intended to be reported than detonated.


  55. James Reed says:

    On 9/11 we were all together, go kill the bastards. Today we have what I see daily on this blog and on other, infighting. The vast majority of this division is due to a substandard morinic President, the rest is being exploited by our enemies. Open your eyes.

    Gas canister bomb ‘an amateur job’

    James Sturcke
    Friday June 29, 2007
    Guardian Unlimited

    The builders of the bomb found in central London today would have probably been “keen amateurs”, an explosives expert said.

    Patio gas cylinders found by police in the light green Mercedes would have been an unlikely weapon for experienced terrorists unless they wanted to create a fireball for the cameras, Sidney Alford, founder of explosives company Alford Technologies, told Guardian Unlimited.

    Ewww, I’m SO SCAAAAAARED!!! SAVE US SHRUBBIE!!!!!!!

    How truly sad that Americans, westerners are so willing and so fast to blame western countries for the terrorism of Muslim extrimist.

    how quick so many on the left are to blame England or the USA and claim that it was all lies.

    what will it take for the Liberals in America to realize that Muslim extremists are real and they will kill anyone and everyone that stands on their way.

    I ask all those that claim that Iraq is the reason that terrorism is happening, why then 9/11?

    What did Clinton do during the 1990s that 7 months after he left office Muslim extremists caused 9/11? Where we in Iraq? where we in Afghanistan? where we invading any Muslim nation? NO!

    In fact, we had just helped the Muslims in old Yugoslavia be free from Milosovic.

    It never ceases to amaze me how quick the left is to excuse Muslim terrorism, and quick they are to condemn their own nation.

    truly sad.

    You are a lunatic Perry Logan, I pray that no matter who is our President and which party takes over, no terrorisms occur in America. You are a pathetic idiot to believe what you believe.

    On the other hand, if you read the left wing comments on this site or any other site where they post, YOU left wingers are constantly saying out loud that you wish Bush to fail in Iraq and that more American dies so your party can take over with ease.

    stop projecting you lunatic, you imbecile.

    physics, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. While you may think the left only blames american action for terrorism, the right can’t see the action of the west that could have helped fuel the fire of terrorism. there is blame everywhere the current situation needs a rational solution not an emotional attack, the day for that was several years ago. It is time to think out the seventh shot from now so the eight ball goes in perfect

    Comment by James Reed — June 29, 2007 @ 10:16 am

    James Reed,

    once again, why do you justify horrific attacks like 9/11. Please do tell, what Muslim nation was the USA invading on 9/11? once again, we had just finished helping the Muslims in old Yugoslavia, yes or no?

    this is where the left gets it wrong. You believe that the Muslim terrorists are attacking us because we did something to them first. Have you ever tried to turn that around and say wait….the Muslim terrorists did this to us first and we have every right to defend ourselves.

    why are people like you so willing to blame American first? and emotional response? are you saying that we should sit down with monsters like Bin Laden and negotiate?

    how do you negotiate with a man, with a group, Al Qaeda, which wants to convert you to Islam, if not it will kill you, your family, and everyone you know? please do tell.


  96. $5 whore says:

    The difference is that we hunt our criminals down and get rid of them, one way or another.

    really? how many Christian extremists have done this? and if they have done it, why don’t you speak about the huge, huge, huge outcry and condemnation of these attacks by all Pro-life groups and all Christian religions.

    something that is lacking big time in Islam.

    When was the last abortion clinic bombing? how many people did it kill? how often they happen a year around the world? name each and everyone of them.

    You are desperate and making things up. Stop the moral equivelency

    Mail anthrax and blow up government buildings? now you are really tallking out of your behind.

    I can tell you that the Weathermen Group a socialis, or more like a communist organization tried blowing up buildings in Washington DC back in the 1960s. McVeigh, a NON-Christian, by his own admission blew up the Oklahoma building.

    Anthrax attacks by Christian groups? who?

    stop spewing out the propagand that has been installed into your tiny brain. you are lying big time.


  100. Jeremy says:

    It seems my post is being eaten and for the life of me, I can’t figure why. Let’s see if I rephrase it.

    Ole’ Osama isn’t on George’s radar any more. “I really don’t think much about him.” After all, as the Fox News video clip at http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/14/barnes-osama/ shows, he’s just not our top priority anymore.

    Bush would have alot more support from me if he hadn’t dropped the ball on Osama and stayed in Afghanistan. This may come as a surprise to you neocon retards, but Osama wasn’t in Iraq, and 70% of your fellow Americans are doubting that we should have been in Iraq in the first place. Had Boy George actually gone in and got him, I may not have been here posting this.

    Will history record September 11th, 2001 as the Beginning of the End of the United States? Will future historians record our downfall as starting when Dubya took our liberties away while squandering America’s treasury and international good will? You fools, James Reed, CT, and the rest of you inbreed hick trolls with MPS would gladly follow Bush to America’s Demise, just to spite us ‘Libruls’.

    Again how is that hunt for Osama going?

    Not only that, this idiot speaks as if abortion clinics were been blown up everyday. Obviously, this is not the case. And once again, all the Pro-life leaders and groups, as well as all Christians condemn the actions of the lunatic that did this. and of course the guy is not in jail.

    when was the last time that leaders in the Muslim world condemned Muslim extremists for their terrorist attacks? when’s the last time that a bunch of the Muslim leaders, their Imams got on television and said that the Muslim extremists carrying out terrorists attacks were evil and that they were harming Islam? You have one or two once in a blue moon, but over all as a whole, Islam has never condemn Muslim terrorism.

    What I’ve done is try to correct the wrongs done by our govt. What you have done is just like many in Nazi Germany did, not question your leaders.

    Why do you read into a statement what you want to hear. Where were you on 9/11? I was in NYC watching one of the most horrific sight of my life. More ghastly than watching a mans face turn purple as his head filled with blood from internal bleeeding and then the pupils go fixed and dialate. What have you seen? Have you ever stopped a person from trying to steal your car, I have. Have you ever risked your life to save another, I have. When you quit hiding behind an alias then I might be convinced you are grown up.

    is going buddy, but a better question is this…..have you heard Bin Laden claim that that the United States is a paper tiger while Bush has been in office like he said it while Clinton was in office?

    Bin Laden was free to travel, come out on news reports, give interviews, move freely around the world while Clinton was in office. Now the poor imbecile, the rat, the monster, the pathetic fool, the worthless piece of human garbage is in hiding and he has been seen in how long?

    what? are you for real? stop claiming you are so mighty. You don’t know who I am or what I have done. So please. It could be true everthing you just said, or it could be a complete lie. I truly could careless.

    I asked you a few questions and you come and attack me? please James Reed you need to grow up. Answer the questions or move on guy. No one is attacking you. I don’t know you. I just asked some simple questions.

    Gas canister bomb ‘an amateur job’

    The builders of the bomb found in central London today would have probably been “keen amateurs”, an explosives expert said.
    Patio gas cylinders found by police in the light green Mercedes would have been an unlikely weapon for experienced terrorists unless they wanted to create a fireball for the cameras, Sidney Alford, founder of explosives company Alford Technologies, told Guardian Unlimited.

    You must have missed the sentence in my post where I mentioned that we hunt our criminals down. OBL is not ours, he’s theirs, along with Hamas and Hezbollah and AQ and Al Aqsa etc.

    Do you believe its American soldiers detonating car bombs in Iraqi markets?


  115. $5 whore says:

    Gas canister bomb ‘an amateur job’

    That would have been handy knowledge for the victims, knowing their injuries were inflicted by amateurs, so it shouldnt hurt as bad.

    In the eyes of Al Qaeda, Saudi Arabia. They didn’t like the fact that american troops were stationed in their holy land. For them, that was just the same as invading the country.

    Not justifyin’ them, just explainin’.

    Here’s bin Laden’s Fatwa from 1996, named “Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places.”

    don’t be such a pathetic idiot. Unlike you, I don’t spend 24/7 on TP and I am not drooling infront of my computer waiting for morons like you to respond. get it?

    James Reed, if this is even your real name. You are a nobody to me, tell me why I would devulge to a complete stranger my personal information, who I am, what I’ve done in life, etc, etc. care to explain?

    and you still have not responded to my questions, which are not personal in nature, so why should I respond to you, also enlighten me. moron.

    Ty eerror attacks are done by Greek Orthodox Terrorists who want Constantinople back from Turkey.
    They demand a right of return and claim Constantinople as their capital.
    I support them!
    Long live the Constantinoplitan Liberation Organization and their allies, The Constantine the Great Martyrs Brigade!


  122. James Reed says:

  123. The Joker says:

    James,
    Another Greek Orthodox Terror group is Ortodox Crusade! a very militant group that doesn’t recognize the right of Turkey to exists.
    They want all of Anatolia back under Greek control.
    They are in Alliance with the Party of the Trinity!

    As a Leftists do you support these Greek freedom fighter?


  124. The Joker says:

    Another Orthodox Militant group is the Army of Justinian.
    The belive that all the territories of the old Eastern Roman Empire as it exists at the death of Justinain should be under their rul.
    They believe in restoring the Title of Basilieum Un Romoi or Roman Emperor based in Constantinople.
    They are the more radical of the bunch!

    are you kidding me? poor little Liberal, all hurt because I asked questions. Please grow a pair my friend. Anyone that truly has tje background you claim to have wouldn’t take words from a stranger as an attack. It is glaringly obvious that you, like every Liberal in America are a poor liar.


  126. The Joker says:

    Conservatron,
    What do you think of the radical Greek Orthodox Terror group.
    The Army of Justinian!
    They’ve commited terror attacks the world over.
    The Muslims have been innocent victims of those same GrecoOrthodox-Fascists!

    question: has the f.b.i., the justice department, the dept. of homeland security or ANYBODY put up a reward for any info. that could lead to the capture of the anthrax killer?

    would this killer be classified as a domestic terrorist?

    don’t we deserve some answers to this-these are federal crimes.
