They towed it away and impounded it because someone reported it smelling of petrol. I would think it was a false alarm if they've towed it already. And it was in Park Lane.

x post ranting.
I hate to say this, but when they said the first car was full of nails and stuff I thought oh thank goodness for that.Only nails and stuff. A dirty bomb is what I fear most.

Just to make us all feel better.
Sorry. My anxieties do get out of control sometimes.

I dunno spudm, I reckon burning hot nails flying through the air could be fairly lethal but, I'm not an expert.

Didn't the guy who blew up that pub near old compton street use a nail bomb.

they cordoned off Fleet St. They haven't said if they found anything there though.

I agree that madness lies if you think about it too much (I grew up in the town where the MP was Sec State for Northern ireland at the height of the IRA). However, the location of the cars before detonation has to be celebrated and focussed upon- people ARE vigilant, they DO notice. And Thank God for that!

nail bombs are intended to wound and maim to maxium effect- how sick can you get?
