Terror Attack foiled - Haymarket

London in the rain #1
Wonderful, not a word on the news (watched BBC breakfast before I set off, concentrating firmly on Tim Henman and new cabinet), nothing in the papers, and what do I find when I get into town? A (and I quote) "massive" device was made safe near Picadilly tube during the early hours of the morning...Nightclub bouncers outside "Tiger Tiger" witnessed a silver Merc being driven erratically before stopping after striking a rubbish bin, the driver bailed out and legged it...it's been confirmed that there is no "Irish connection" meaning that the suspects are likely "Islamic Extremists"...Central London is closed while scene of crime and forentics teams get to work...traffic is in chaos as a result...
London in the rain #4
...the former head of the Flying Squad, one John O'Connor has been quoted as saying the perpitrator had most likely "bottled it"...another witness has been quoted as saying that they saw a number of gas cylinders and a huge quantity of nails being removed from the vehicle...

Welcome to office, Mr Brown...
