A plot to kill innocent commuters in a series of suicide bombings two weeks after the July 7, 2005, bombings failed at the last moment because of problems with the explosive mixture and simple "good fortune," a London court heard Monday.
Six alleged Muslim extremists plotted to bring carnage to the London transport system with home-made chemical bombs loaded with shrapnel, a jury at Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London was told.
Four of the men tried to detonate their bombs - three on Tube trains and one on a bus. However, the bombs failed to go off.
The plot was hatched before the July 7 attacks and was not a "copy cat" attack, but was, rather, a long-planned operation.
Israel is 5-10 years ahead of Europe in terms of facing the brunt of Muslim terror. And America is 5-10 years behind Europe.
The lesson? Israel used to have many stories about miracles and luck that scuttled terror attacks, but jihadis are like the Terminator, as described by Kyle Reese:
Listen! And understand! That Terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop...EVER...until you are dead.
