UK Anti-terrorism police have launched a huge manhunt for the people who planted two car bombs in central London. Police, who have described events as "troubling", are studying hours of CCTV footage in the search for suspects. The cars - both Mercedes - were packed with nails, petrol and gas cylinders, but the devices were not detonated.
One car was found outside a nightclub while the second was towed to a pound before its device was found. police have increased their patrols of the capital and are reviewing security for a number of public events being held in the city.Police said the safety of the public was their top priority and urged everyone to remain vigilant. BBC security correspondent said "Simultaneous, co-ordinated bombs have historically been a distinguishing feature of (al-Qaeda's) anti-Western attacks ".
while the new cabinet crisis group met under the leadership of the new PM Gordon Brown , UK police have started a massive hunt, while discussions are being taking place to have more stringent security measures and also to have tighter anti terror laws.
acts of terror must be not only condemned but also be it any where in the world , we understand the scourge terror far too well than any other country . LTTE in Sri Lanka has repeatedly over the last couple of decades carried out indiscriminate bombings in both Colombo and rest of the country. many hundreds if not thousand of lives were lost in such bombings and many are living with visible and invisible scares of such attackers.
all through the time, well through some of the most devastating bomb attacks including the Bomb in Maradana, Central Bank UK not only took the position of peacemaker but also insisted the successive governments to follow a process of peace, dialog with a terrorist group who had no interest in a political solution nor dialog. UK kept their pressure on the Government of Sri Lanka through the decades ,cutting off financial and military aid,forcing the government to fight on its own, a murderous terror group ,while UK harboured the most of the predominant and leading LTTE figures, turning a blind eye to LTTEs use of UK as a logistics and a financial hub.
LTTE made UK its financial hub, the center of its operations in Europe for extortion but also procuring weapons and explosives and also exchanging terror know how. the latter was achieved by making connections and links with many of the terrorist and subversive groups of the world, most of whom who had a presence in UK. it was only recently that the UK authorities arrested two of the top LTTE financier in UK, in a bid to stop the use and abuse of UK soil as a centre of terror financing.
i guess UK government and the police should understand the graveness of terror, be it waged in streets of Jaffna or London , terror is terror and to fight it the methods and standers are the same. while UK presses with More and more tough anti terror laws they should not criticise actions of the Sri Lankan security forces as abusing human rights.UK needs to understand, when you play with snakes they tend to bit you back too.
may be the arrest of the two LTTE agents in London may be linked to the two car bomb , or it may not be the case, but who ever the culprits are , rest assured the LTTE may have links to them,even may have provided bomb making know how.so, its up to UK to understand the graveness of terror abroad is also terror at home.
it was divine intervention or some thing else prevented the two bombs from going off, thus preventing a great loss of life. that would have been bad, and we understand that well.we have felt the pain of losing so many in the hands of terror and we need to get together to fight the scourge of terror.but then you cant have double standers, one set for UK and another for Sri Lanka.
