In oups.com, PhilD typed: Ross wrote: Some very sick copycats? My immediate thought too. Looks like an amateur copy, done because it would be "funny". I doubt it. I don't think a copy-cat would go to the extent of 4 almost simultaneous incidents. I think London got lucky this time. One of the reports on BBC World service (30 minutes ago) had the bus driver reporting a split open rucksack, with white powder spilling out. My suspicion is that these were real bombs, but the main charges failed to detonate. Modern high explosives are pretty insensitive, and it require a detonator or blasting cap to get them going. Perhaps they were constructed incompetantly, or home made explosives were used which did not work. We'll know in a few days, I guess. pt |
