If that's really the case then they should close all of central
London. There is no particular reason that another bomb should be
within 200 yards of the Mercedes. A typical Al Quaeda plot would
involve multiple bombs, but spread over several miles.

And it turns out the second bomb WAS within 200 yards. Sitting down in
Cockspur Street, probably an area where people would have been evacuated
to had the first one gone off. Except that they'd parked it illegally and
it had been towed to just off Park Lane.
