Everything I've seen says the London blasts could have been the work of
a lone terrorist.

He could have arrived at King's Cross on the eastbound Circle Line
train, leaving the FIRST bomb on that train.

He could have placed the SECOND bomb on the westbound Circle Line train
without actually riding it, just getting on, leaving the bomb and
getting off.

Same with the THIRD bomb. He could have placed it on the Picadilly Line
train without actually riding the train. They say the bomb was on the
first car, right where the escalator from the lower level would have
brought the culprit. He placed the bomb on the train and then took the
escalator to the surface.

Once he reached the surface, he could have walked or taken a bus to
Euston Station. (He had plenty of time.) At Euston Station he boarded a
bus and left the FOURTH bomb under a seat at the back of the upper deck.
He then exited the bus at the first stop or maybe even before it left
Euston Station.



I kind of agree with you, who ever planted the bombs was alone during that
dreadful hour BUT I would imagine someone presented him with the primed
bombs that morning possibly in a side street in the King's Cross area.

For sure he jumped from one train to another. You could set up a guessing
game what direction did he travel first on the circle line but then again
did he actually travel the circle line? was it a simple act of jump on then
straight off. One answer we all know is he DID enter the King's Cross
Piccadilly Line platform and swiftly got to Euston and again without
question he MUST of used the Northern Line.

The thing that I'm questioning more and more is the bombing of the bus.
Usually terrorist follow a pattern but never 3 trains then change to a bus.
who ever planted the bombs had the intention of copying the Madrid blast.

Here are a couple of options what the bomber had in mind:

Option 1. He was planning a repeated task - leave the bomb on a packed
Northern Line train and swiftly abandon the train when it arrived at Euston
BUT when the train arrived passengers were told to leave the station.
Because of this situation the bomber decided to take the bomb with him and
find a new target.

Option 2. He was heading for the Victoria Line southbound where he would
plant the next bomb.

Option 3. The Piccadilly train was delayed from departing and so he had to
make a quick exit?

One thing the police will desperately want to know is where was the bomber
between the hours of 0850 (Kings Cross) and 0947 (Tavistock Square) I have
a feeling his operation of bombing the tube system was broken and that his
original plan was not to bomb a bus.


Any bomb experts out there?! Lets say he had further bombs in his bag
containing plastic explosives - first primed bomb exploded - what is the
result with regards to the other bombs?
