Default Car Bomb found in London

It's just a matter of time.

Police Discover, Defuse Bomb in London

Friday, June 29, 2007



LONDON ? Police defused an explosive device found in a parked car in central London on Friday, and the new government called an emergency meeting of senior security chiefs to investigate what many feared could have been a planned terror attack.

Police said the car ? parked near busy Piccadilly Circus ? contained a "potentially viable explosive device" but would not give further details.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who took office on Wednesday, said the incident was a reminder that Britain faces "a serious and continuous threat" and the "need to be alert."

"I will stress to the Cabinet that the vigilance must be maintained over the next few days," Brown said.

The incident comes a week before the second anniversary of the July 7 London bombings, when four British Muslim homicide bombers killed themselves and 52 bus and subway passengers.

For more than a year, the government has held the country's terrorist threat level at severe ? which means a terrorist attack is highly likely.

Officers were called to The Haymarket shortly before 2 a.m., a police statement said.

The Haymarket is the site of restaurants, bars, a cinema complex and, most famously, theaters. On a Thursday night, the area would have been buzzing with crowds of people. The broad street links Piccadilly Circus in the north to the Pall Mall at its southern end.

Forensic officers in white suits were examining a silver sedan and had placed a blue tent-like cover over the rear of the vehicle, which was parked outside an American Express foreign exchange office.

Sky News broadcast a photograph of the vehicle taken early in the morning, showing a green canister beside the car and the backseat door open with blankets spilling out.

The station cited witnesses as saying doormen from a nearby nightclub had reported that someone had crashed a Mercedes sedan into garbage bins and ran away.

The area around the vehicle was cordoned off as a precaution on Friday morning. London transport officials said the Piccadilly Circus underground train station was closed.

Found at least one more rigged car. I read this morning that the way they were rigged was almost identical to car bombs found in Iraq.

London (and New York) are certainly on edge for good reason.

"The current threat level for terrorism in the UK, set by MI5, is "severe" - meaning an attack is likely. It is just under "critical", the highest level of alert, and it is not yet known whether the level will change in light of today's events.

Senior police sources have stressed they have no direct intelligence that any group or individual is planning such an attack on London."
