There is an interesting conspiracy theory on http://www.prisonplanet.com/
Not saying I believe but I wouldn't be surprised if we find out in 30 years
that things aren't quite what they seem. Regardless though, all our thoughts
go to the dead, injured and those just caught up in the dreadful events

I think that was simply a desire to scotch such a rumour unless and
until it became absolutely obvious that these really were the acts of
suicide bombers - which, sadly, now seems increasingly likely.

The worst kind of terrorism is that perpetrated by fanatics who are
convinced they will achieve a glorious martyrdom by killing themselves
in the process of slaughtering others. No threats of life-long jail
sentences can stop such people.

Yes, you're probably right. The worst case scenario has proven true -
it was the work of four suicide bombers. The police almost certainly
didn't want to tell that to the public until it was proven to be true.

Maybe it was just wishful thinking that it was the work of one man.

Now England probably wonders what the purpose was for all the other
explosives they found. Did the four suicide bombers expect to have a
dozen others join them, and the others failed to show up?

And all this happened without a single hint to the police.

Groan. My heart goes out to the people of Great Britain.

I didn't hear any reports saying it was NOT suicide bombers. Almost
every report I heard mentioned the possibility that it might either be
suicide bombings or planted bombs. Naturally nobody wanted to confirm
it either way until the Police found enough evidence.

Correct. There was speculation about suicide bombers, but the police
kept saying there was no EVIDENCE of it. Now there is evidence of it.

I was only looking at the evidence.


Maybe - but you were inaccurate when you said "But it's a mystery why
there were so many reports saying the train bombings were NOT the work
of suicide bombers." I do not believe the reports actually said that.
