one of the failed bombers has now been arrested..

[Don Seer]

One of the failed London bombers has been arrested during a dawn raid in Birmingham, police sources said today, in a major breakthrough for anti-terrorism officers who believe that the attackers could be preparing to strike again.

Three other men were held in the early morning swoop, which was carried out by 50 officers from two police forces and started at 4.30am. Two addresses in the east of Birmingham were raided and a suspect package was found at one property. The device will be destroyed by bomb disposal experts in a controlled explosion this morning.

One man, thought to be the bombing suspect, was shot with a Taser gun, but no firearms were discharged in what police are describing as a "very safe" operation. Police practice against suspected suicide bombers has come under intense scrutiny since the shooting by armed officers of an innocent Brazilian man on Friday in South London.

Good job...nice to see them capture suspects without killing innocent people.

[Don Seer]

they didn't flake out their bombs had a fault.

[Don Rizzle]

the explosives substances had decomposed and was no longer explosive by the time of the attempted second wave

Since there is no death penalty. They should get information from the terrorist. Then let him walk out, shoot him dead and say he tried to escape
