'al-Qaeda' puts on big shoes, red nose, takes custard pie

"To recap: an exceptionally incompetent group of troublemakers, unknown to the plods or spooks, decided to bring a spot of terror to old Blighty starting last Friday. These people had no actual explosives, and were apparently too lazy and ignorant to learn how to make them. Instead, they decided to load cars with petrol, domestic gas cylinders and "containers holding nails", and then set fire to them - either manually or using a cellphone-initiated remote rig of some kind."

I bet that would be a lot more amusing if W hadn't commuted Scooter Libby's sentence this week.

I was wondering about this myself. For all they tried, there was remarkably little damage. Looks like wanna-bes to me, the really bad ones are still out there.

They were a little more organised than that, but not much. Most of them seem to have medical training (many of those being held are doctors so perhaps their training got in the way "First, do no harm!")

This lot clearly slept through the "how to make a detonator that works" seminar.
