Hell of a way to greet the new PM...thank god the terrorists were inept! Two car bombs in downtown London and one at the Glasgow airport, none went off as planned. They captured one idiot at the airport and another is in critical condition...wore a suicide vest but that didn't apparently work either...third moron still in burning SUV at last report..crispy criter! Nation on highest alert expecting more attacks...my prayers go out to the people of England, one of only three dependable allies.

Seems likely that Brown was the target! These guys were pathetic though so who knows?

I think so too. When I heard about the Glasgow attempt, I immediately thought they're sending a message to Brown.

My daughter was in England last April. Glad she's home now.

Yeah, I'm glad she is too...a parent's worst nightmare is a child in harm's way!

five arrests--so far.

i know we've had a couple threads on here lately knocking some 'keystone kops', but from what i hear, a policeman was a true hero in this event--got in the car and dismantled the bomb before it could go off, risking his life in the process. seems a shame that idiots get the press, while many more don't get the credit they deserve for a thankless job.
