What is "wild" about something that was threatened just 4 days earlier? 
And I wasn't speculating. I was asking. And for those that love to fingerpoint at Fox, I suggest you dismiss all major newswire services, such as the Associated Press:
"All indications at this stage are that this was an accident," said Frank Whiteley, chief of police in Hertfordshire, the county where the depot is located. "However, clearly we will keep an open mind, as with all investigations, until we can confirm that for certain."
Al-Qaida and other terrorist groups have threatened to target fuel depots.

Fox is just another parrot. Know your sources. |
Actually I was responding to an article on the Fox Site that suggested that the British people were still rocked by July 7th (something that no other news source has stated) before saying we were all preparing for the news it was a new terrorist attack. |
Wrong again. From the same AP article I linked to above, 2nd paragraph:
But the powerful explosions felt throughout a large swath of southeast England including London, 25 miles away, rattled nerves in a country still jittery over terrorism after deadly transit bombings in July killed 52 people and four suicide bombers.

Like hell. As Kaptain pointed out...this isn't the first time this has happened. No one was running around shouting terrorists about.

Fox is just parroting the wire services they pay for.

Also, this doesn't match Al Quieda's tactics. In the west, they rarely attack a single target...we would have seen simular explosions or attempts elsewhere. To attack one target would have been foolish...British and European disaster relief plans deal with a single fire - and they seem at this point to be working. For an attack to be effective, they would need to overwhelm our emergency services. And i'm sorry, there is no indications this is the case.

Yeh. Absolutely far-fetched. Go on back to your lives, citizens.
Oh and
BOO!
