| Tube attacker lay on his rucksack in Christ pose |
| 2005-07-23 |
| One of the suspected London bombers lay on the ground on top of his rucksack with his arms outstretched and his eyes closed in a Christ-like pose. Passengers watched in horror as smoke and a gooey substance began to leak from the bomber's rucksack. As he lay there as if being crucified, eyewitnesses say they spotted what appeared to be a pressurised cannister and copper wires coming from out of the bomber's T-shirt. When the bomb did not explode, he calmly got up, jumped on the tracks and walked down the line. |

| #6 I am baffled by the fact that this guy walked away from the scene within two weeks of the previous bombing. Other than in SF, just about any crowd in the US would have lynched him. Our citizens would have lynched him at a symphony. I suspect that he would have been lynched at most play groups. |

| #5 Using his body as tamping for the explosive? Wouldn't be the first time. Wonder what was located directly under the spot he chose. |

| #2 Doing like he was trained to do for his AQ "martyrdom operation." No doubt now at least some of them were knowing suicide bombers. |

| #1 Hmmm . . . "Christ pose," huh-- Western interp of the guy, IMO. Sounds more like he was lying there expecting to be boomed straight to his 72-virgin harem. What will he tell the guys back home? Some fatalistic Allah bullshit, no doubt. |
