I would hesitate to use the word 'mastermind' to describe anyone involved in this - they firstly made two car bombs which didn't explode (how hard could it be - you can get it all off the internet, probably like making flat pack furniture) and then the best plan of action they could come up with was to drive to Glasgow, crash a car and set it on fire.Originally posted by Grand Armee@Jul 4 2007, 04:36 AM
Two suspected in the bombings have been detained here in Australia in the last 48 hours. One is now officially in federal police custody whilst the other has been released and cleared of any wrong doing.
The one arrested had made numerous calls to the mastermind in Great Britain, trained in the same hospital in Liverpool and the mastermind apparently had his SIM card. Also had bought a one way ticket to India (via Malaysia).

Liverpool airport was closed for four hours today after police found a suspicious car parked outside.It was taxed, insured and still had its radio and hubcaps.
And so AQ decide to specifically target us, in response to Rushdie's knighthood. God streuth. Of all the stupid decisions that Tony Blair has ever taken, this one has got to be right up there. I feel sorry for those poor people who might very well end up dying because of Blairs mis-use of something so irrelevant as the honours system. It just beggars belief. This was just so foreseeable, and Rushdie such an undeserving recipient, that I can only assume it was attempt to deliberately provoke. I'm genuinely flabbergasted that a government and civil service could have been so stupid :rant:Originally posted by Headstrong@Jun 30 2007, 11:38 PM
[QUOTESeriously, the FT reports intelligence from the spooks who monitor Muslim fundamentalist websites that a bombing incident was both incited and indicated, apparently to underline that G Brown supported the Iraq war, but also in protest at Salman Rushdie's knighthood [which made me feel like bombing Downing Street too, Rushdie having sold his huge archive of papers to a US university whilst having accepted millions of quids' worth of security from the British taxpayer to save him from the consequences of his own arrogance].
