7/7 London Bombers Had 16 More Bombs
Topics: TerrorismShocking new images have emerged of unexploded bombs found in a car left behind by the July 7 London bombers, some surrounded by nails.
[NOTE: The image of a nail bomb that was originally posted here has been removed owing to the following message from the London Police]
In a note to newsdesks today, the Metropolitan police said it was "aware that ABC News has obtained a number of unauthorised images relating to the investigation into, and the crime scenes from, the London bombings of July 7 from a third party.A total of 16 bombs were found in the red Nissan car parked at Luton railway station, believed to have been rented in Leeds by Shehzad Tanweer, one of the four bombers who killed themselves and 52 others in a co-ordinated attack on three London Underground trains and a bus on 7/7. The number of devices has raised fears that the scale of the July 7 bomb plot was much larger than originally imagined, and the presence of nailbombs graphically illustrates that the bombing cell wanted to inflict the maximum possible pain, injury, and risk of death on innocent London commuters.

Hat tip to Captain's Quarters for the heads up on the request for removal of the nail bomb image.
