The Lone Nutter Theory

I think this idea holds water. All the three trains that had bombs on had passed through Kings Cross station, each about 10 minutes after the other. The bus also passed through Kings Cross 10-15 minutes later, and the reason it took so long to complete forensic examinations of the scene of the bus explosion was that they believed the perpetrator was on that bus. How incredible that the bus was re-routed because of the Piccadilly line explosion, and the bomb was set off outside the British Medical Association headquarters where there were 25 senior and experienced doctors inside, ready to help, and which reduced the death-toll to just two.

If it was a large group of terrorists, why not Heathrow? Why not somewhere in the south of central London, like Victoria? Or Westminster? That would have completed the disruption.

Just a theory, but I think a relatively convincing one.

I'm buying this, I'm seriously buying it.

A suicide bomber would not have deliberately set i off outside the BMA. I had begun formulating a theory that that chance must have saved countless lives - one doctor traumatised by what he saw, another saying it was six months of casualty in three hours.

I work in Westminster, literally and conceptually, and really, there was no sense of heightened security other than emergency vehicles whizzing round with sirens. Security did a cursory check of the ashtrays at 3pm; the usual two police horses did their mid afternoon trot-by, the security levels didn't rise, which surprised me, because we went to Amber on 11th September.

A few years ago a not-very-effective IRA terrorist set off a bomb accidentally on a bus on The Strand. All the news organisations seem to have forgotten that.

Hope things are getting back to normality for you today, mate.

Very credible theory.

I'm not so convinced. I have left my own "theory" at Annie Mole's website - in the comments of her posting of today (Friday 8th July.)

I agree. Four bombers would have spread out across London and hit Waterloo and Victoria. They would have been able to carry larger bombs. This would have been an Al Quaeda 'Co-ordinated' attack.

I have developed my own theory that two bombers did it on my site, http:\\www.hughfraser.co.uk
