Suspected suicide bomber? I reckon he wasn't very successful if they're chasing him.

Suspected, attempted suicide bomber.

Underground subway suicide attempting murderer.

Why are suicide bombers afraid of being caught? And if they are, why don't they just blow themselves up?

You have officially won this thread.

The best way of preventing suicide bombings is "to point out a major flaw in the system that is supposed to capture them" via a major newswire....

I love how the last part of the article reveals that the reason nothing has been done to patch up a potentially deadly gap in law enforcement effectiveness is because two organizations are bickering about money.

192 PEOPLE DEAD?! SCREW 'EM! WHERE'S MA CASH, BIATCH?

Perhaps the "homicide bombers" explosives malfunctioned in some manner...?

They should've invested in my ultra-top-secret through the Earth, concrete, and water radios. I'm sellin em for $2/each.

This sounds like the premise for a bad 80's video.

Duran Duran chasing some stereotype through the sewers so they can save the world, but oh no their radios don't work so no back-up. They better start singing some nonsense lyrics to a Casio-driven beat or he might GET AWAY!

Nothing that can't be solved with a pile of money. Lot's of places in the US have the same problem. Politicians would rather build parks and buildings with big brass plaques that have their names on them, then infrastructure that the general public rarely or never sees, but is needed to ensure their safety and well being.

Two tin cans and a piece of string, even the Keystone Kops could've thought of that

"You going bald, Paddy?"

Sad. If they would just throw down some sheckels for inductive antennas that attach to the ceilings, the problem would be solved. They aren't that expensive

"He's brought 'em and he's dropped 'em."

So true, Pick. So, true.

Who'd a thought that Phonenix Nights has made it onto this thread, three times? For me, that scene highlights the fun of giving the general public V's from the top of double decker buses.

Sorry, as for the radios. The Met ought to spend some money, as has been said before. Either that, or redirect some of the cash that is being wasted in the police.

so long as they don't try any of that shifty arab hooha, ma'am, that is so long, in plain english, so to speak, without beating around the bush, coming straight to the point, so long as they can't run, and when i say run, i do mean run, leggit or otherwise scarper, ma'am, given that that condition is given, and given also that said speedy parambulation does not lead them unto the gates of hell, by which you may correctly infer that i refer to none other than a tube station, ma'am, then you may yet rest assured, sleep easy and relax, for sure as eggs is egss, with me and my like, the good old british bobbies patrolling eagle-eyed, light of foot and free of heart these here streets of this here fine capital, these trecherous vermin stand not a chance

The problem is that their radios typically work with
repeaters and if you go underground, the repeaters can't
pick up anymore since they're not in the subway, the
repeaters are typically up high on a building or some
hill.

If they'd switch over to simplex, they might have a chance
of making contact point to point down there, and maybe even
with a strung up wire running along through the subway.

big wang glick I take it you don't watch the news all too often. That is exactly what 3 terriosts did in spain.
Also did you even read this article? That is exactly why the police didn't try to obtain him right off the bat. After successfully locating the man, officers trailed him. They did not want to make an immediate arrest because he was in a busy area and, if a genuine suicide bomber, could have set off the device. So no cold fusion he did not win, not by a long shot.

So, what happened, did the guy get away or blow himself up or was innocent?

i recommend we move to a faith-based system of terrorist prevention.

I recomment Tits stop using the same joke in multiple threads.

Anti-Religion joke 2.0?

I guess they didn't see S.W.A.T.
