This could go on for quite some time. I don' think they have any idea yet whether the two are related or a copycat.

And when the US & England finally pull out of Iraq, which has been inevitable for a long time, they can now claim to be heroes for driving the infidels out. PPPPPP.

Let's hope it doesn't. The British police has done some good work now, stopping these two bombs in London and the two twits that did this Glasgow thing was arrested at once. Keep it up lads! Stay one step ahead of them!

Yep, this has been another good/lucky turn, if a disturbing one. Good thing noone got hurt and the two clowns that tried to do this have been busted.

the may be related but as a terrorist attack both failed to achieve thier aim other than the obvious disruption, poory executed by modern standards and ameturish in executuion these are not AQ trained terroists but none the less disturbing

The whole police operation seams far too elaborate (and expensive!)!
More traffic police would be better, far more people die on the road then through these half-arsed terrorist attempts.

I have also noticed that all of these "terrorist" attempts have been extremly amature. Either this aint aquida or the are losing their touch.

Statistics will prove you right
Terrorist attempts are by far the quickest way to mobilise public opinion though.

I agree. Really the only goal is to get on television.

They won even if they didn't get the explosion they presumably wanted.
They caused disruption and fear. More piss-pot attempts coming?

I think that only rarely has any terrorist group had more than one or two capable organizers at one time.
