Presbyterians at Play

Thank God they found them.

Police have confirmed that not one, but two massive car bombs were set to explode in the heart of London's West End.
The first, in Haymarket, was packed with petrol, gas cannisters and nails, and was defused after police were alerted by an ambulance crew called to an incident at a nearby nightclub.
The second was in a car that was illegally parked nearby and towed to the Park Lane car pound.

...In a news conference Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke said the second car, a blue hybrid Mercedes, was parked a few hundred yards from the first in Cockspur Street which runs between Haymarket and Trafalgar Square.

It was issued with a parking ticket at around 2:30am before being towed to the Park Lane car pound where staff alerted police.


There has to be a way to track incendiary German engineering, you would think. This second one is a hybrid, so definately late model, right? It's not like they picked up a pair of trashed Yugos for a couple hundred bucks cash.

They had TWO chances to start out the new British guvmint with a bang.....and blew it both times.

Them pesky Presbyterians need to re-take that "freedom fighter" sponsored improvised demolitions course.

Well, like all good Presbyterians I'm sure they formed a Task Force to discuss the proper plan.

Hybrid car bombs? Hey, I figured it out - lefties don't mind the terrorists because they're green when they blow stuff up.
