The London car bomb found and deactivated by police is part of the legacy of the idiotic decision to invade and occupy Iraq. George Bush told the terrorists to "bring it on" and they are.

From CNN

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Police in London say they have deactivated a bomb packed with nails and capable of creating huge casualties, raising renewed fears of a terrorist strike almost two years after the city was hit by deadly suicide bombers.

The device, consisting of 200 liters of fuel, gas cylinders and nails linked to a triggering mechanism, was found in a car in Haymarket, in the city's busy nightclub and theater district shortly before 2 a.m. (0100 GMT) on Friday.

British police anti-terror chief Peter Clarke said the explosives would have resulted in significant injury and loss of life had the explosives detonated.

Clarke said a quick-thinking ambulence crew alerted police after they noticed a smoke-filled car parked close to the popular "Tiger Tiger" nightclub where they were attending an earlier incident.

Explosives officers discovered canisters of fuel, gas cylinders and nails attached to a "potential means of detonation," inside the vehicle. Officers on the scene "courageously" disabled the trigger by hand, he said.
