    They left after the bombs failed to go off. Had they gone off, they would have been suicide bombers.

    Another thing that's scary - in Leicester part of the city centre was cordoned off - nothing in the news about it. Today there was a police road block on the way to my friend's village - still nothing in the news about it. What the hell is going on?!?!

    Where abouts?

    Thing is though there are always going to be police road blocks and what not about for some reason or another doesn't necessarily mean it's linked to terrorism

    Haymarket was cordoned off, and there was a police road block into Kirby Muxloe. I understand but normally there aren't loads going on around you - I don't know if it's related or what but certainly it seems that the police round here have a muhc higher presence over the past few days.

    obviously large scale blatent things going on in london are going to be pretty obvious so they wud have to be on news.. but other stuff that aint so big they can get away with. They probs dont wana cause it will make people more paranoid/panic like and increase all those racist attacks that keep happening..

    They were packed into plastic containers inside large bags padded with newspaper. A detonator or blasting cap going off will not cause much damage to anything outside the bag.
