Today's attacks: a warning? Bush/Oval/Warren, detonators only, AND...

[Brotherjohn]

... coming the day after Al Qaeda warned that European nations had until August 15th to pull out of Iraq... or else?

I'm sorry, but the station names are just too eerie to be coincidence: Shepherd's Bush, WARren Street, and Oval (as in Office). I'd venture to say Shepherd's Bush is the only station in the London area with "Bush" in the name.

Then there's the "detonators only" part of the attack (accdg to BBC earlier today). Why go through all the trouble without using actual explosives?

And, while a copycat attack is a possibility, it would take an awful lot of planning, I think, to duplicate the attacks of two weeks ago (3 train stations and a bus). I just don't know if a copycat would have had time.

I think it's a followup on yesterday's verbal warning. Al Qaeda is saying: we can do it again, we can do it the same way, we can do it however we want.
