Probably not Irish. From SkyNews (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):
Shane Brighton, a counter-terrorism expert, told Sky the device may be linked to Al Qaeda in the wake of Gordon Brown becoming Prime Minister.He said: "This is highly unlikely to be an Irish device, given the current state of politics there. Al Qaeda tend to go for symbolic timing."
A "security analyst" on Fox news suggested it be a lone attacker, or a jilted boyfriend, because it was ladies night at the nearby club, so that makes sense of course.
Rope, tree, journalist, some assembly required.
I am not a security analyst, but it appears to me a Moslem celebrating sabbath.
Yeah, A jilted boyfriend preparing for Friday Prayers ;)
Taking bets for which mosque the attack attempt is connected with.....
Does this still mean there is no war on terror?
...I have heard no report of the capture of the errant driver...When and if he is caught, I suspect he will be a Muslim, His neighbors will say he is a good boy, and his local bearded, crazed, finger pointing Islamic cleric will decry the government as being racist Islamophobes..
....Also, I would be looking for a second vehicles...a popular tactic in Iraq is to blow up one vehicle, and then when the rescue crowd appears to investigate the scene and to aid the injured, a second bomb explodes taking out the rescuers...
....He was driving erratically because the bomb may have had a timer device and he was unable to find a parking space....growing fearful,he just abandoned the care.....
I'm surprised they sent just one attacker out at 2AM. Might as well do it with multiple coordinated car bomb attacks during the morning rush.
I wonder if he was in the University of Terror graduation ceremony that was on the tube last week!???
...I forgot to add, the potential terrorist could not remember if the timer was for 2 AM or 2 Pm....he was scared....
Maybe it was a terrorist attempt by a member of the religion of blown-to-pieces?
Pretty strange that the attempt was so bungled, almost as bad as Britain's immigration policy.
Frankly I'm shocked at the Islamophobic&trade attitudes my fellow readers are demonstrating over this incident.
I could have equally-well have been an Irish organisation responsible, or even Animal Rights canpaigners

....maybe the quality of the immigrants has gone way down....
Usually the RoP bombs the infidels on their religious holidays. But since the Brits are no longer religious any day is a good day...

Notice how these bombs are never planted in front of mosques?
How much chatter would the MI5 get if they hauled it away on a truck which just happened to have a break down in front of one of their places of worship?
the hubby & i were wondering when the malls & nightclubs would be targeted (again) in the west.
definitely finsbury rolling out the welcome mat...welcome to the office & the real world, brown! this is your life...
The attempted bombing near The Haymarket may have been a message sent in a bottle -- or a rather a whole bunch of gas-filled bottles -- and might be named after that Jack Buchanan vehicle from 1933, but with a slight change, so that it now reads: "No, Mr. Brown."
I guess this means we'll all be hearing the following:
1)Islam is the religion of peace.
2)The Islamic community fears persecution.
3)More bridges need to be built to Islam.
Is Gordon Brown as much a Dhimmi as Blair?
Counter terrorism"expert".....".unlikley to be an irish devise."
Thank you "expert" i was begining to worry.
No, Mr. Brown
Rating: It's a dud
Genre: Musical
Movie Type: Musical Comedy
Themes: Nothing Goes Right, Assumed Identities

On Dutch sites I am reading that the nightclub was Tiger Tiger, serving "Asian" menus.
There were similarities with devices found in Iraq. Well, at least they can blame it on the war in Iraq.
"3)More bridges need to be built to Islam."
--- from a posting just above
Build those bridges. Every Infidel a pontifex maximus, a relentlres roebling, building building building those bridges.
Muslims feel "isolated." Muslims feel "unwanted." Muslims feel "unloved." That's why they do what they do in southern Thailand, and the southern Philippines. That's why they decaptiate Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia, attack Christan churches in Alexandria, or Baghdad, kill Hindus in Bangladesh and drive millions of them out, why the Taliban, those hyper-Muslims, forced Hindus in Afghanistan to wear yellow identifying robes, why they felt compelled to blow up the Bamiyan Buddhas, or destory churches in Gaza, or drive even "Palestinian" Christians out of Bethlehem. It's why death threats were made against Danish tourists, unless and until the editors of Jyllands-Posten were punished for daring to publish a handful of anodyne cartoons. That's why bombs went off in Atocha Station in Madrid, on the Underground in London, why a Moscow theatre was seized, why Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh were murdered.
"Not integrated." "Unwanted." "Unloved." Prove, Infidels, the contrary. Do everything you can to integrate those Muslims. Lavish every possible program on them -- language, culture, all the things that no other group of immigrants appears to need, lest members of that group start hating those among whom they live. Provide every conceivable benefit: education, health care, subsidized housing, all far beyond what those hundreds of thousands, say, of Somalis now living in this country could ever have dreamed of at home, living in Muslim Misrule, Muslim Malgoverno. Pile it on. Dedicate, re-dedicate those mosques. Do whatever it takes. Don't say a word against Islam, don't even hint at it. Always and everywhere denounce those who beg to point out this or that disturbing feature of Islam. Shout them down. Censor their websites. Banish those "hate-mongers" to the outer darkness.
Keep it up.
Bridges. Build. Greater. To. Understanding.
Make Muslims Happy To Be Here.

Concerning Hugh's second paragraph above:
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AFTER 9/11 AND ALL OF THE OTHER ISLAMIC TERRORIST ATTACKS???
This made me chuckle........
Pantsofdeath has noticed that if you are a member of a religion you are entitled to say and do anything you like while trampling over everyone else's rights
In order to take proper advantage of this, Pantsofdeath has decided to set up it's own religion, thereby ensuring that we can do what we like no matter how distasteful and offensive.
It is called Pantsology, it has a logo (a stylised pair of Y fronts - perfect for car bumper stickers, lapel pins and hanging on a chain about the neck).
Read it all

They feel unwanted, unloved, isolated.
BOO-F*ING-HOO.
I feel lots of these feelings, too...much like EVERYONE ELSE ON THE G*DAMN PLANET.
Nobody's building bridges to me, because I'm not a BLACK HOLE OF PARASITIC WASTE.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease. AGAIN.
But NOT FROM ME.
I'll promise an entirely different response that will be exponential to what you do.
Capice?
"Black Hole of Parasitic Waste?" LOL!
Si, capische!
You Go, Girl!
Greetings:
Time for the Phoenix Program to re-arise.
This is because when they announced the foiled attack the guy didn't mention the Muslims, he said something about it might be a fertilizer bomb as used by the IRA. How very open-minded! The terrorism guy was counterracting that.
This was the Sky announcement
Everyone in the following list voted for a 24 hour time limit to approve the Z - Visa on Thursday June 28, 2007. Some of them are running for president. How can anyone be qualified to be president or even senator who voted for a 24 hour time limit to approve visas for those in a country illegally?
No country in the world has such a law.

z visa 24 hour
30 second TV Spot
Candidate X voted for a 24 hour time limit to approve visas for those in the country illegally. Are your children safe with X as president?
Fade to 9-11 photos.
As spot ends, one hears
24 hours, 24 hours, 24 hours.
What is this "Z Visa 24 hour?". A proposal?
A new law cominging to place?
I have googled and I am not enlightened. Come back Altavista, all is forgiven
No need. "Z Visa 24 hour?" was the illegal alien bill that just failed. Seems to have been a shade inpractical.
