There had been no prior intelligence of planned attacks from the terror organization, a British government official told The Associated Press earlier Friday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation.

The events unfolded when police were called to Haymarket, south of Piccadilly Circus, after a man fell at the nightclub Tiger Tiger, injuring his head, prompting a call for an ambulance around 1:30 a.m. Friday.

When crews arrived, they noticed smoke coming from a green Mercedes parked in front of a club, Clarke said.

he announcement of the second bomb came about 20 hours later, after police had closed off a nearby major street along Hyde Park for several hours to investigate a suspicious blue Mercedes. That car had been towed across town to an impound lot; the attendants there, on the alert after news of the first foiled car bombing, smelled gasoline and alerted authorities.

Just remember what Benjamin Franklin had to say about liberty and security.

About a day after the bomb scare over in London, another terrorist attack takes place at the Glasgow airport. Sky News (via Hot Air) has this to say about who the culprits are:

Larry C. Johnson:

There is smoke and fire. In fact, a car is on fire. It must be Al Qaeda. Only Al Qaeda knows how to set themselves on fire inside a car. Please. Flee to the hills (leave you doors unlocked). Oh the humanity!

UPDATE:

As events unfold I’m simply asking that folks take a big deep breath and try to keep things in perspective. Are there jihadist extremists in the world who are willing to kill innocents? Absolutely. Are they amenable to negotiation? No. I am not in the, “have you hugged a terrorist today” camp. However, we need to stop equating their hatred with actual capability.

Justin put it in bold because that is what the news report is saying. The classification of peoples as Asian is a broad term. Technically, a Mexican is an American because he/she is from the North American Continent. The same could be said of a Brazilian.

We are dealing with news reports from Europe and to classify the use of a quoted word being stressed in active news reports shouldn’t be seen as racism in any form. Bobby is an obvious troll and if it were up to me his comment would be gone. My reason? No link no voice.
