Proper rubber dinghy rapids stuff thankfully.

Mrs is off to Liverpool Women's this afternoon. Slightly disconcerting, but I doubt there are many safer places in the city today.

Defo safer than Stanley Park. Even if the terrorists wanted another try.

I was just reading a bit about this as it had kind of passed me by over a busy weekend.

It’s potentially really quite serious

I've been told, by someone in the office, that the taxi driver thought the twat was behaving suspiciously, so locked him in the car

I think it was after the bomb went off, which in fairness was quite suspicious.

I read the bomb knocked the driver out and when he came to, he scrambled out and locked the door behind him,

Pretty much confirmed as another Islamic terrorist attack

And take your pick, either targeting a women’s hospital full of babies or a cathedral hosting a Remembrance Day service. Top lads.

Oh fark, never seen this one before , not the thread for but

If you watch the video (in the link in OP) the bomb/detonator goes off with the taxi driver in the car. You can see him scramble out after it goes off. Assume it failed to go off properly.

Since the driver got away I think it went off perfectly

Fucking brave security guy running straight towards it to help the guy out

Looks like he used TATP; & got a failing grade in organic Chemistry.

... No virgins for this piece of pig shit.

Not sure it is, the beeb saying he's converted to Christianity. Although could've lapsed or cynically used the conversion for asylum I guess.

Agree though what a scumbag. Very lucky nobody died.

If he's a failed asylum seeker I thought he'd be in a yarls wood type place?

Yes, all others released, suggestions of him being mentally ill - although they all are. All very strange

[Insane_Homer]

Can the op please change the thread title, not a terrorist afterall

Turns out he's Christian, with mental health issues...

... in recent years he may have converted to Christianity and also suffered from mental health issues.

Two car bombs have just gone off in Kampala, Uganda.

By the initial looks of it, nothing too serious despite it happening in city centre. Hopefully the plums involved were just as incompetent as the Liverpool one.

Apparently a "Christian convert". Evidently could not decide which god ordered him to murder innocents.

My old home town.

As an aside, why do we never hear of any of these plums' family members being arrested? Hard to believe no family or close friends ever had suspicions that these arseholes were demented, god botherers.

But they still think the target was the Cathedral, not a terribly Christian act. Plus the explosive used was the same one used by the Manchester bomber and others. Looks like a lot more to come out about this. As I said, they are all fucked in the heid anyway.

I don't think that's right, they always seem to arrest family members, usually the first ones to be arrested.

Will take your word for it. I'm leaning towards the Keyser Soze/Walter Kurtz solution to this.

[Kawazaki]

Have you seen the CCTV of it going off? I assume the bomber was in the back seat but the bomb didn't even injure the driver. Bomb was packed with ball bearings too apparently.

Ball bearing bombs don't work in tightly confined spaces. They are designed for the opposite. In that level of proximity, the explosive itself will do all the damage. Good job the **** f*cked up his attack.

I wonder what was going through his mind in the last few seconds as he self immolated - hopefully something like "serves me right for being a cunt"

Hang on, you think the solution to people being radicalised is to go after their families?

They do it for five generations in North Korea.

Slightly odd given that seems to be the number 1 reason they become radicalised.

Quite a sad story in the Mail about a retired army officer and his wife who met this guy at church during his conversion and then took him into their house for 8 months. What good people and it's very sad this happened to them.

Also seems very lucky he totally failed in his mission. Would've been truly horrific if he got in the hospital or rememberance day services. I guess we never know how lucky we are sometimes.

I was being sarcastic. However, it's an interesting moral intellectual exercise whether when faced with an enemy whose modus operandi is to "die to the last man or victory", the only practical solutions are surrender or total annihilation.

Here, the enemy does not care about his own life and so the threat of death is meaningless (setting aside the practical implications of detecting individuals amongst a concealing mass of anything: forests or people). What credible deterrent does that leave you with?

[JM2K6]

Not doing the thing that creates people like that in the first place is a decent starting point.

[Paddington Bear]

The man took a taxi to his own suicide bombing. There are probably other ways of stopping this happening aside from killing his whole family.

I suspect that rooted in Islam is a seed of such destruction that has inevitable flowerings. The Umayyads ran a model of tolerance, prosperity art and culture..... only for most of them to have their heads cut off by the radical Abbasyds.

I don't doubt that what you say is is a contributory factor. However, part of the failing (be it in subjugation/conquest or seeking peace/isolation) is in seeing the matters through Western tinted glasses. You simply cannot find solutions** using a moral or logical framework that does not map on to your subject.

{EDIT}** I should have said "solutions to your satisfaction".

Well, you're the one demanding solutions that can cover even bizarre people like this guy, so what's your idea beyond silly "salt the earth" reprisals?

No one should buy this converted to Christianity shit. His ‘conversion’ was only so the bedwetters wouldn’t send the cunt home as it would be dangerous for him in his backwards medieval country as a supposed apostate
