they still r saying they were on timers right?

Post by **HM-PuFFNSTuFF** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 5:24 pm

no idea but it's not like they couldn't have had them on timers and still have been there (timers to insure all the bombs detonate before the transit system is shut down, and they stay so noone will be suspicious of abandoned packages)

Why would they put timers on suicide bombs?

I agree that the police could easily have been wrong about some of their initial deductions... But publicly announcing that terrorists are at large in the city, and that the largest investigation in history was about to take place?
Those don't seem like things you say just on a hunch.

The downside of this investigation being conducted by the Brits will probably be introduction of massive police camera surveilance in major US cities in the name of "the war on terror"

thats is already planned but iraq has sucked all the big brother money away from our soil for the short term...

That 50 million they cut from the transit security budget is going to go a long way in Afghanistan

Would they really be whipping the public into a frenzy without evidence?

Or is the UK government as gung-ho on fearmongering as the US is?

maybe and maybe

but i don't think it was all about scaring people, i think they were just going ahead and pursuing the worst case scenario, probably based on their best yet feeble evidence

Some witness accounts suggested the bus bomber may have blundered, blowing up the wrong target and accidentally killing himself. A witness who got off the crowded bus just before it exploded said he saw an agitated man in his 20s fiddling anxiously with something in his bag.

"This young guy kept diving into this bag or whatever he had in front of his feet, and it was like he was taking a couple of grapes off a bunch of grapes, both hands were in the bag," said Richard Jones, 61, of Bracknell, west of London.

"He must have done that at least every minute if not every 30 seconds," he said.

One theory suggested the attacker may have intended to leave his bomb on the subway but was unable to board because his co-conspirators had already shut the system down.

You heard it here first.

Terrorists plan to fly multiple small planes into Space Shuttle Discovery. As many as twelve are believed will attempt suicide collision runs into the Orbiter and other targets of high interest in the vicinity.

Well they must have read the forum because they scrubbed the launch.
The FBI are on the way to your house now to interrogate you on what you know so you better get on your bicycle and ride!
