on 29 June 2007, two un-exploded car bombs were discovered in London.
The first device was found in a 1989 light metallic green Mercedes 300E saloon car near the Tiger Tiger nightclub in the Haymarket. The device was removed and later disassembled by explosives officers.
Several reports had been recieved by the police, including one from an ambulance crew (some time after 01:25) who reported seeing smoke inside the car. The ambulance had been called to the nightclub to attend a man who had fallen over and suffered a minor head injury.
Around 04:00 there were reports that two large gas canisters and a large number of nails had been found inside the car. It had been illegally parked outside, in a TfL 24 hour bus lane for over four hours and never even got a ticket!
A second device was left in a blue Mercedes-Benz saloon in nearby Cockspur Street. The fact that it was a car bomb, was not discovered until after it was towed away to the car-pound in Park Lane. The reason it had been towed away, it was causing congestion after being abandoned by a nervous terrorist.
London's Park Lane was later cordoned off while the suspicious vehicle was investigated.
A controlled explosion was carried out on the car and it was found to be packed with 60 litres of petrol, gas cylinders and nails, the same as the car found in the Haymarket.
Scotland Yard, Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur urged people to be "alert and vigilant" and to report any suspicions to the police.
We have been reporting cars and minicabs, left untouched, uninvestigated night after night outside Tiger Tiger and many other London clubs.
At the time of the car bomb attack, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith chaired a meeting of the government's emergency response committee. In her first full day in the job, she urged the public to be vigilant.
Perhaps she should have directed her comments at the Met police, Local councils and TfL.
Four years on and its plain to see, that these agencies have failed in their duty of care to keep our streets safe.
Why do the police and local wardens just turn a blind eye?
We have written many times to Local councils, LTPH and TFL.
Very little action is taken by these agencies, WHY?
Will it take a catastrophic incident with great loss of life before they finally do something?
Well documented Islamic web sites said that these bombs were targeting hen nights as no one would miss these uncovered sluts and whores.
Its happened before and nothing is being done to stop it happening again...
Just a matter of time before they are picking up body parts outside a London club!
