London Car Bomb Attack 2007A Mercedes filled with large quantities of gasoline, propane and nails was found in London. The car bomb was diffused. Now a second bomb of similar nature has been found in West London near Buckingham Palace.

Sources revealed that officers examining a Mercedes found in an underground car park off Park Lane this afternoon discovered an explosive device inside.

It has not been disclosed what sort of bomb was found, but the revelation comes just hours after bomb disposal experts defused a device set to detonate petrol, gas cylinders and nails in a car outside the packed Tiger Tiger nightclub in The Haymarket.

It is thought the second car was found parked illegally in the West End by traffic wardens in the early hours of this morning. It was then towed to the pound - located in the car park - but left outside in the public area when staff reported that it smelt of fuel.

Earlier this afternoon Park Lane was sealed off and Hyde Park evacuated after bomb experts were called in to examine the car.

Security alerts caused by the searches brought much of London to a standstill. [source]

The car came to the attention of authorities when an ambulance crew called police when they saw smoke coming out of the car. The second bomb was illegally parked near Piccadilly Circus, when it was towed away the workers became suspicious when they noticed a strong smell of gasoline.

In both instances, it was pure luck that the cars were discovered. Both were in places obviously chosen to do a maximum amount of damage and loss of life.

Scotland Yard is in pursuit of three suspects from the Birmingham area. The Birmingham area is known for it’s large population of muslim immigrants.

This story is developing.

The Pirate’s Cove does his usual investigative work by dumpster diving over at DU. He emerged with the reaction of the liberal left. He is a very brave soul!

What did Teach find the lefts reaction to be? It’s all a set up, of course.

So strange. How can the police find a bomb in a car?
I mean if you want to make sure your bomb goes off then you hide it in the car, park the car in a the area you want, leave the car and use your cell phone to trigger it.
How could the police have had the suspicion that there is a bomb in the parked car?
What did they see from outside?
Why wasn’t the bomb hidden?
Why wasn’t it triggered?
Do I smell here that somebody wants to assure Gordon Brown stays on course in the war on terror?

Not as cynical as me. I figured it was Shrub’s welcome to 10 Downing St. gift . . . a reason to align with the King in the war against the brown people.
