...in the apartment of the NC State grad student. Was more jihad to come to London? From [1] UPI, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

British police say a powerful explosive has been found in an apartment in the English town of Leeds as the investigation into the London bombings expands.

Investigators told CNN the explosive TATP (triacetone triperoxide) was discovered in an apartment rented by Magdy el-Nashar, an Egyptian biochemist who has been detained by Egyptian officials in Cairo in connection with last week's London terror attacks....

TATP is a common explosive used by terrorists. But CNN said it was not immediately clear whether the same explosive found in el-Nashar's apartment was used in the London transit system attacks.
