On Wednesday, police captured Yasin Hussan Omar, one of the would-be bombers from last week’s failed attacks.
BAH
According to the BBC, they took the rucksack he was carrying, suspecting it was full of impact-detonated high explosives, and threw it out of the window.
Meanwhile, ex-Met Commissioner Lord Stevens is becoming so hawkish on the issue of terrorism that he’s in danger of losing as much perspective as the terrorists: “My heart goes out, not to [Jean Charles de Menezes’s] family, but to the man who pulled the trigger”, he wrote in Sunday’s News of the World. Isn’t there maybe room in the noble Lord’s heart for both? Or did de Menezes somehow have it coming?
