Well, no, they've only just announced it on News24.

Jesus. I couldn't believe it when I read about the first one, let alone two!

MegaLegs · 29/06/2007 20:21

What a second one to the mercedes in Haymarket - oh shit!

foxinsocks · 29/06/2007 20:22

must remember to park car sensibly this weekend - police will be all jittery and removing cars quick sharp

rantinghousewife · 29/06/2007 20:23

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.

spudmasher · 29/06/2007 20:23

Where was it parked?

spudmasher · 29/06/2007 20:25

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.

beansprout · 29/06/2007 20:25

But remember Hyde Park? That was hideous.

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

rantinghousewife · 29/06/2007 20:26

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

rantinghousewife · 29/06/2007 20:27

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

spudmasher · 29/06/2007 20:28

Yep lethal to those in the vicinity.....
Just awful.
I was starting to feel confident about going into town.
We are going in on Sunday.
DH goes in everyday.

WideWebWitch · 29/06/2007 20:28

Oh no

rantinghousewife · 29/06/2007 20:30

Yep, my dh works right in london, I just don't think about it too much, that way lies madness for me, I think.

spudmasher · 29/06/2007 20:32

To true, to true.
DH is not home yet.
Has gone to pub for a drink after work.

I have a close frind whose dh is in Iraq at the moment. She has had a really difficult and tense week so I have been suoorting her with phone calls and e mails.
Today she called me to see if I was anxious about my DH!!!!!!

spudmasher · 29/06/2007 20:34

DH home. He said 3- one in fleet street too.

spudmasher · 29/06/2007 20:36

Haymarket, Park Lane and Fleet street.

rantinghousewife · 29/06/2007 20:36

Glad he's home safe and sound spudm.

spudmasher · 29/06/2007 20:37

Is your dh home, ranting?

rantinghousewife · 29/06/2007 20:38

Yeah, he got home an hour ago and now sleeping on the sofa!! Lazy get!

beansprout · 29/06/2007 20:38

Oh lordy, this was really supposed to kick off.

foxinsocks · 29/06/2007 20:42

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

Peachy · 29/06/2007 20:49

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?
