London Police Defuse Car Bombs

London Police very likely saved a lot of lives today...

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...ub=CTVNewsAt11

Despite outstanding efforts by bomb squads, there was a lot of luck in discovering the bombs.

For those who haven't been there, these are two very popular, and busy, areas of London.

I've been to these places. Absolutely horrifying. What is WRONG with people these days?

I've been there, too.

I e-mailed a pal who is Senior Director at NBC News last week and he wrote back that he was in London on an assignment.

When the London Subway attacks happened, I was working at UN Headquarters.

This kind of stuff really gets your attention.

(Thanks, Rudey. I'll make careful not of that!)

I was wondering when this would get posted.

I assume Rudey's sarcasm is in full-force. AlQuaeda operatives are the main suspects.

A "burning" SUV crashed through a set of doors at Glasgow Airport, the biggest in Scotland. Police say the incident was deliberate.

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/stor...5BCC89ABDC6%7D

Police don't know if there is any link to the attempted bombings in London.

Nobody was injured.

ETA, here's another article with some more details and a lot more speculation...

I wonder if ABC was on the money when they reported this on the 18th of June?

http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/...ive_suici.html

The UK just raised their threat level to critical, which means they belive that another attack is imminent.

There are unconfirmed reports they also evacuated the hospital where they took one of the bombers because he was wearing some sort of explosive vest.

Thoughts and prayers for the UK.
