Explosions in London - terrorism?

Sad, but very true.

Thats why its so scarry now

it's a sad state of affairs when the intelligence community know who these people are and what they're upto but can;t do anything till shit like this happens because they don't have enough evidence to jail them.

internment pretty effectively limited the damage the IRA could do back in the day and SAS covert hit squads put the fear of God into them. Just 2 possible solutions I think we should be looking at.

I can't see another war breaking out. we know these are British born and bred (which we should hang the people caught for treason) so we can't bundle of back to the middle east claiming it's against them and to be honest. it isn't logisitically or politically smart.

Just seen the news, and it says that one of the bombers was only 18 and another was a youth worker!

Just when Leeds was on the up too. CNN referred to Leeds as "Slum City in the North of England"

**** me well they havent been to Luton then

lol sounds like you're all running around in bare feet and potato sacks.

btw they just lifted what looks to be like one of the masterminds in Cairo. Hope he faces a lengthy wait in an Egyptian jail before he's deported:

CAIRO, Egypt - Police in Egypt have arrested an Egyptian biochemist who studied in the United States, and authorities investigated a possible link between al-Qaida and the suicide team that carried out the London bombings, officials said Friday.

Magdy el-Nashar, 33, was taken into custody upon his arrival in Cairo from abroad, the Egyptian official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because an official announcement of the information had not yet been made. El-Nashar, who studied at North Carolina State and Leeds University, was being interrogated by Egyptian authorities, the official said.

The official could not specify the date of the arrest or where el-Nashar was arriving from, but said it could be as long as a week ago.


Metropolitan Police in London said a man has been arrested in Cairo, but they would not confirm his name or characterize him as a suspect.

British and FBI officials were looking for el-Nashar, who recently had been teaching chemistry at Leeds University, north of London. The Times of London said el-Nashar was thought to have rented one of the homes police searched in Leeds in a series of raids Tuesday. Neighbors reported el-Nashar recently left Britain, saying he had a visa problem, the newspaper said.

Leeds University said el-Nashar arrived in October 2000 to do biochemical research, sponsored by the National Research Center in Cairo, Egypt. It said he earned a doctorate on May 6.

FBI agents in Raleigh, N.C., had joined the search for el-Nashar. North Carolina State spokesman Keith Nichols said a person named el-Nashar studied at the university as a graduate student in chemical engineering for a semester beginning in January 2000 until the spring.

“We’re aware of an arrest in Cairo, but we are not prepared to discuss who we may or may not wish to interview in connection with this investigation,” London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement. “This remains a fast-moving investigation with a number of lines of inquiry, some of which may have an international dimension.”

and i bet he just walked striaght into England without any problem? they realy need to stop them coming in , in the first place
