LONDON:2ND CAR BOMB! Several Planned

The new thinking in Britain, "British official Lord John Taylor is now on Fox News calling for more “dialog with the Muslim community.” He doesn’t like the word “terrorists.” Prefers calling them “criminals.”

Second bomb contained similar materials to the first bomb found earlier today -- nails, gasoline, cylinders.

SEVERAL EXPLOSIONS WERE PLANNED USING MULTIPLE VEHICLES BY ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS IN LONDON BOMB PLOT, U.S. AND BRITISH OFFICIALS TELL ABC NEWS

Second car bomb found in London's Park Lane Daily Mail

A second car bomb has been defused in the heart of London sparking fears that others could be primed and parked around the capital.

The petrol, gas and nail bomb was discovered in a Mercedes towed into a car park pound beneath London's Park Lane after being found illegally parked in the West End of the city.

It was parked in Cockspur Street, just a few hundreds of yards from the first Mercedes. The car was ticketed at 2.30am and then taken to the pound at around 3.30am.

The discovery, in the early hours of Friday morning - at about the same time as the first car-bomb was found in Haymarket, left anti-terror detectives asking "How many more?" as thousands of officers searched the captial for other suspect vehicles - and for the terrorist cell.

Just hours before the deadly devices were found, an Islamic fanatic chillingly predicted a terror blast in London.

EMERSON ON THE LONDON CAR BOMBS

ABC News reported fumes inside the car were so thick that the robot's camera could not pierce them and send back a worthwhile image for the technicians to view. With robotic technology ruled out, law enforcement officials say, a bomb technician fell back on the oldest and riskiest technique in the manual -- hand entry. Donning an approximately 90-pound Kevlar suit , one technician took "the long walk" from his armored response van to the Mercedes E 300 sedan and found a carefully constructed, large vehicle bomb with a complicated fuse.

The bomb technician defused the device by hand, officials in London said.

UPDATE: Terror Plot Involves Islamic Extremists; Police Have 'Crystal Clear' Picture of Suspect ABC News

Brian Ross and Richard Esposito Report:

British police have a "crystal clear" picture of the man who drove the bomb-rigged silver Mercedes outside a London nightclub, and officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com he bears "a close resemblance" to a man arrested by police in connection with another bomb plot but released for lack of evidence.

Officials say the suspect had been taken into custody in connection with the case of al Qaeda operative Dhiren Barot (pictured), who was convicted of orchestrating a vehicle bomb plot involving targets in London, New York, Newark, N.J. and Washington, D.C.

Officials say a surveillance camera caught the suspect "staggering from the Mercedes" shortly after parking it outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub.

One wonders if someday duncan will wake up in the midst of burning ruins, his body peppered with nails, and still be worrying about the 'neo-con (he really means JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ!) agenda.'

Officials tell ABC News at least two men have been arrested inside Germany who came directly from the Pakistan training camp.

Only two guys? I seem to remember they just cranked out thousands of jihadi suicide volunteers to be sent to the West...
And didn't Iran sign up 50,000 volunteers?

As Chief Brodey would say...
We need a bigger boat.

Jakesgramma, I've been thinking about that. I keep wondering: will the Jihadists try to make a point right before the election in November of next year, by having dozens, hundreds, Thousands of suicide bombers blow themselves to Hell, and a lot of innocent people to Heaven? Or will they wait until the Dhimmicrats have begun dismantling and dumbing down our capacity to protect ourselves, in the year or so following the '08 election?

No matter which way it would go, IF it went, you can bet the likes of duncan will blame it on the 'neo (Its' Da JOOOOOZ!) cons.'

And the Left has convinced quite a few people, that's who to blame.

We live in a bizarro universe..

The second car bomb had been ticketed and was being towed away when the explosives were discovered....

It looks like the Islamists are now using easy to get, non traceable components for explosives. No need for a chemist or explosives expert. So far whatever they chose for a detonator has not worked. But if one decides meet Allah, he can detonate it manually. Any solo home-grown can pull off such an attack. This is low tech, high terror.
