Photos of the inside of two of the tube trains + the explosives found Luton. Don't ask me how the yanks got hold of these, but somehow they did. Nothing gory which is good.

I would have thought that these photos could have been officially released so the public would know what to be on the look out for ?

They aren't what I would have thought bombs would look like (except the Nail one) !

What's that photo of a tampon in a miniature bottle?

Reality

Exactly - next we'll have some foreign lass with the painters in getting shot for running to the loo

The nail bomb looks fecking Evil!!

letdown

I telll you where they got them. I read somewhere that the photos were passed to them by a leak in American Inteligence. t0ssers !!

Freak

I dont know what good it does to keep those pictures from the public?

Hello

Wow, is that all it takes? That's shocking. They look nothing like bombs at all. But then I guess (like most people), my only experience is thankfully just watching movies.

These pictures are in the public domain now.

Similair subject.

My thoughts too.I thought the rooksack would have been totally full and about 10-20 kilo's,loads of wires,etc.

I can imagine some people looking at those pics never wanting to go on a tube again.

Martin_Aimless

Wow. What an exclusive. I expect they got them from the BBC website.

Patt@firstime

Makes me feel sick looking at those photos of the train/bombs

Freak

Wrong!
BBC credits (and probably paid) ABC for them ....

gso

that nail bomb is scary

Now you can see that any action like banning rucksacks on the tube is bound to fail. You could easily fit a device like that in a briefcase or a laptop bag.

Hope they catch the b@stards before they strike again.

Doesn't it seem strange that the meticulous forensic investigators would just dump a load of "bombs" on the roadside, at night, to photograph them as proper "evidence", rather than isolate the vehicle and move it to a sterile environment to avoid losing vital stuff such as DNA etc.????

Or maybe ABC stands for A Bunch of Crap!!

re boomers comment..

i,m no expert but..

its very strange... now either our inteligence services arr,nt to clever.. highly unlikley or

these devices are propoganda tools...

my worry is that the 4 are stooges, designed to be caught,, then the heat goes off the real bombers who kick off again...

the nail bomb... either they went to a design school for trendy bombs, or there absolute rank ametuers....

now i,m no explosives expert, but.. why make the b*mb look like a medievel cludgel.... all the nails neatly positioned... given that when the thing explodes, it would just be metal in all directions.. points in or out would make no differance, the cutting effect would be the same.

It's probably easier to stick the nail to the bottle using the flat round bit rather than the sharp pointy biy.

But I'm only guessing

carl

Why not just put the nails inside the bomb?

boxst

Hello

Because it makes the explosives less, erm, explosive. You can certainly have a secondary container with the bomb inside and fill that with nails, although ball bearings have better velocity and destructive power.

The reason the nail bomb looks like it does is because when the creator made it. He/She stretched out a line of clingfilm and stuck the tacks in it. Then wrapped the bottle with the clingfilm, points outwards. It makes no odds really of course, but it does point to the way it was made and whose the person behind it.
