reassessed liao, suspected to be terrorist attacks.Originally posted by alexkusu:a power surge caused the exploison? rite~
They want to sabo the security in the hosting country..Originally posted by fudgester:I dunno man.... the timing of the attack's really coincidental, coming just one day after the result of the IOC meeting.
Anyway, I don't think it's likely that terrorists had managed to guess correctly that the winner would be London and planned accordingly.... Paris or New York could have easily won, after all.
If anything, it would have made far more sense to set off bombs in SG during the IOC meeting.
I think this was a meticulously planned operation.But to sneak bombs into the Underground..hmm..isn't MI6/MI5 supposed to be very good at HUMINT?Originally posted by fudgester:I dunno man.... the timing of the attack's really coincidental, coming just one day after the result of the IOC meeting.

thought they are dis-funct since early 90s?Originally posted by dragg:chances are IRA did it.
Ya.. read somewhere that IRA more or less already accepted by the government... even to the extent of some seats given to them in the governmentOriginally posted by snk86:thought they are dis-funct since early 90s?
That's Sinn Fein, their political arm.Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Ya.. read somewhere that IRA more or less already accepted by the government... even to the extent of some seats given to them in the government
I don't think so. The IRA, and its many splinter groups have steadily been losing public support, even in Northern Ireland. If they did this, they will have lost whatever support they have left.Originally posted by dragg:chances are IRA did it.
Maybe the French did it!Originally posted by snk86:thought they are dis-funct since early 90s?
well put in a nutshell.Originally posted by Gun:An unknown organisation calling itself "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe" claimed responsibility.
What a stupid name, what a stupid act.
Going for soft targets when they had trouble getting to G8 meet in Scotland.

The ones who carried out the attacks and die are the ones who believe that there will be 99 virgins ( I think the figure is 10,000 virgins) waiting for them in heaven.Originally posted by Quincey:Why?
Why can't we just realize that all this hatred, this thirst for revenge, this whimsical submission to fantasical ideaology is all just a farce. That, at the end of the day, we'll all just freakin die from whatever complications that might arise. That there wouldn't be 99 virgins awaiting you in heaven ( as these radicals belief), that if there is god we will have to pay our dues, that if god is just an illusion, it'll be the end.
