#2 Flomons Graper4839, please translate that bit into something simpler -- I don't understand what you mean. Thanks!

#3 this was not a homemade job. Well duh. 7 bombs going off at precisely the right time in the right place. Unlike other rantburg readers who know lots about this stuff, I know nothing about bombs, but even I knew this was no home made job. And they knew it too, they've been dealing with IRA bombs since the 70's.

I bet you $5 the quotes saying the bombs were homemade were unsourced or from the usual supsects, in order to get out the meme that even if we trounce AQ militarily, there is nothing we can do to stop them. It worked too, the networks have been chomping on that "homegrown" theme like dogs on a bone.

#4 The Times Online has a similar article, but this passage particularly grabbed my attention:

It is understood that the examination of the No 30 bus at Tavistock Square has yielded vital fragments that have sharpened the focus of the police inquiry. Forensic pathologists have been paying particular attention to the remains of two bodies found in the mangled wreckage of the double-decker. A senior police source said: âThere are two bodies which have to be examined in great detail because they appear to have been holding the bomb or sitting on top of it. One of those might turn out to be the bomber.â A decapitated head was found at the bus scene which has been, in Israeli experience, the sign of a suicide bomber.
