#1 cough, cough*bullsh..*cough, cough.

Ok, let's look at this statement a bit more carefully, shall we.

The house at the centre of a major evacuation in Leeds during inquiries into the London bombings does not contain explosives, police now say. Because they have already removed them.

The Metropolitan Police said on Thursday it could not discuss whether any explosive material was found in any of the other houses searched, meaning, yes, they found some

but officers in Leeds confirmed that material found in Hyde Park was not dangerous. At least, not anymore.

#2 I don't know much about explosives, but perhaps you have to mix the chemicals in one bathtub with the chemicals in another?

#3 shoot the suspect in the head
The suspect? In the head?


That's after he's read his rights, right? No,no, wait, that'd be execution... I'm confused...

#4 Well, they wouldn't really shoot him in the head. They would arrest him, interrogate him, then go to recover his weapons stash in the middle of the night. Remember Bangledesh used to be a British colony.

#5 That's after he's read his rights, right?

If he keeps his hands in the air away from any trigger device, they most likely won't shoot. If not, well, remember Britian's most famous secret agent was "licensed to kill".

#6 So what was in the tub? Cous-cous, a moonshine still? Inquiring minds want to know.

Previous stories said that military grade explosives were used, so mixing in the tub is unlikely. I would like to know the origins of the explosives and if non-western manufacturers add tags for easy identification.

#9 The shoot on sight seems to be very un British, sounds more like they have been getting advice from a certain modern demoracy in the middle east. On can hope they mean it and it's not just a fable.

#10 Maybe they can involve some of the hunt clubs that aren't allowed to bother the foxes anymore.

#11 I like that idea, SH. We could have Jihadi hunts, with the horns and dogs (pigs are pretty smart; could they be trained?).

Or we could hunt them they way Mussolini used to hunt lions: from a half-track with a machine gun.

#12 It seems the explosive used was homemade (hence the bath tub).
It was acetone peroxide
