Hopefully the latter but seems unlikely to me. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41278545 There are reports of folks leaving the station with burns on exposed flesh. It sounds like a chemical reaction. We can but hope it's not "the religion of piece" proselytizing. If it is terrorism then it'll almost certainly be down to followers of the peaceful not in any way militant religion of islam. It does appear to be terrorism. Yes. And they've now made an arrest, in Dover. Don't these bombers realise that with all the surveillance videos, they're going to get caught? |

Don't these bombers realise that with all the surveillance videos, they're going to get caught? It's not guaranteed. Most criminals are caught due to having some form of previous interaction with the Police and establishing the end of a trail, eg a bank robbers trail may have started when he nicked some sweets from a corner shop as a 13 year old and became one to watch and whose habits and haunts become known. With a terrorist the trail may have been started by intelligence services observing their coming and goings with other known people doing suspicious activity or being seen at certain buildings. In both case if the perpetuator of a bank robbery or a terrorist act is doing it for absolutely the first time and is a lone wolf it becomes much harder, surveillance videos will not help if the person in the image cannot be recognized or are disguised unless they happen to turn up again elsewhere unguarded. There are experts at analyzing videos but as an example of how difficult it is to find someone with no previous look at the Jogger who pushed the woman into the path of a Bus recently, not even disguised, reasonable video from the street and the bus, loads of people about. They still have not identified anyone enough to bring charges Indeed, and they've wrongly arrested two innocent joggers so far. You'd think the jogger should be relatively easy to find, as his home location can be pinned down to quite a narrow area, and he must have been caught by many other cameras on his route. |

Okay, you've got it off your chest.* Be it noted that most of the vitims of these punks are Muslims in Muslim majority countries.* The daughters of my next door neighbour but one call me "Uncle".* I do not anticipate that they will try to blow me up when they are older. Are you sure it's not "uncool"? ;-) |
