A few random thoughts about the events of the past couple of days.
Unless you have been trapped beneath a heavy object you probably are aware that Britain narrowly avoided a sizable terror attack when two car bombs were discovered.
This was followed by an attack upon the Glasgow airport in which a flaming SUV tried to ram the main terminal.
CNN is reporting that new Prime Minister Gordon Brown and company have raised the terror alert to its highest level meaning terror attacks are imminent. I don’t mean to sound obnoxious, but “DUH!” It has progressed beyond imminent, now there are a host of questions.
Did they have any forewarning about any of this? How far along are they in their investigation? Is there knowledge of additional attacks or is the terror level alert system merely a response to the past days? Is this being done to suss out Gordon Brown’s intentions or is the timing coincidental?
Stay tuned, more to come on all of these matters. Updates are on the way.
MW,
Even thought I don’t live in London, I understand. Things are really in a state of flux. It is a scary time.
i’m so not surprised about this. I never really feel safe in London, especially in public transport during rush hour. i really don’t and i wouldn’t be surprised if something blew up in the near future.
