But not for Irish nutters.


The use of a timer is not a huge advancement of tech for the alan's
snackbar brigade, but it is unusual that they seem short of willing

course...)

Perhaps they are losing the ability to find dickheads willing to blow
themselves up?

Not on current evidence, this is the first attack in quite a while
that wasn't a suicide attack.[1]Â* The exception, of course, being
North Ireland where there are still terrorist attacks involving bombs
with either timers or other ways of being detonated that don't involve
the death of the perpetrator.

[1] In fact I can't think of an attack since 911 by Islamic
fundamentalists in Europe/USA that wasn't a suicide attack.

There has been quite a bit of knife waving that has not always resulted
in being shot - thinking of Buck House for one. But yes, it's rare.

I suppose it's just possible the DUP/Tory deal has upset the IRA
splinters
They have other concerns as well.

but wouldn't they have access to professional grade explosives?

Possibly not these days. Has it been confirmed what the explosive was?

Still most likely to be IS inspired, they've been urging attacks on the
railways for a while now.
