Sky reporting: Explosive on bus same as ones used two weeks ago.

[Maddy McCall]

Just on Pox news (I'm surfing news channels).

The bomb that remains undetonated on the bus is the same kind of bomb used two weeks ago in the explosions.

1. Police officially linking this to previous bombs

no reason given.

2 arrests made seeking unknown number of fugitives.

2. I wonder if the bomb material came from that huge cache

that disappeared in Iraq just before the election. Incurious George is pretty good at protecting the oil ministry, but nothing else.

3. funny

i was just thinking the same damn thing

4. Is Sky a network based in Britain? nt

[Maddy McCall]

5. Yes, it's like Britain's version of CNN

[BooScout]

9. No it's not........

SKY is owned by Murdoch. It's not as bad as FOX but it's close.

[Maddy McCall]

10. Hot and muggy.

I had hoped to take the kid camping tomorrow. It's too hot to get out of the house, though.

:D

How're you doin'? :hi:

[Hosnon]

15. Same here

(Georgia) - Should be heading back your way in a few weeks. Good luck with the camping if you decide to go.

:woohoo:

(Smilie not too appropriate but I love this one, hehe)

7. TONY--you ARE in deep political trouble!!!!!

[moodforaday]

12. Wait a damn sec!

Just yesterday they didn't yet know what the 7/7 explosive actually was. This was discussed on DU and there's a guardian article here:

13. They just said that it's made of TSsomething.

I'll post more as it comes.

[BooScout]

18. It's TATP

triacetonetriperoxide

[Maddy McCall]

19. Thanks.

14. Cable news can't be troubled by such mundane things as facts

There's terruh to spread! Get in line, citizen!

[Maddy McCall]

17. Acetone peroxide bomb...white powder around the bomb on the bus...

is like that used in bombings two weeks ago.

[karlrschneider]

20. Not "exactly" the same, I suspect since they were all duds...

bad batch? :eyes:

[kittenpants]

21. Christian Amanpour is really emphasizing the link between

the British involvement in Iraq & the bombings--saying that 2/3 of British citizens believe the war & the attacks are linked and there were a lot of questions for Blair to that effect too.

She is the best CNN has (that's not much of a compliment, but she's actually quite good)

[BooScout]

22. Christine Ampour....

Is a piss poor journalist. (Not that I am disagreeing with her in this instance).......During the London bombings of two weeks ago she sat there before the world reporting on CNN that the IRA bombings in London in the 70s really didn't affect the public all that much....and she calls London her home.:eyes:
