Recent Terrorist Threats

A second device has been found in the car at Park Lane.

(I heard that on BBC News 24 from Daniel Sandford at Scotland Yard.)

Beat you to it, it was on Channel 4 News around an hour and a half ago.

That was speculation. The BBC had it confirmed first.

Jane Hill is putting in the hours today. She was on air at 11am, and is still broadcasting at 9pm tonight.

Al Jazeera has just started the London bulletins, with this being the top story.

So, let's get this right...

Paramedics, dealing with something else entirely, noticed the first car, thought it was suspicious and reported it.

Westminster Council however (or whoever it may have been), ticketed a second car, then later decided to *tow it away* without noticing the apparently similar number of gas cannisters and nails that were in the first one, took if off the trailer and stowed it in a car pound directly underneath one of the *largest parks in Central London*, where it stayed for approximately *12 hours* before anyone reported it.

Fantastic.

Can't see it mentioned (in this thread anyway) but there was a news report on BBC1 around 4.30pm today (with Sian Williams in the main studio) about the second car at Park Lane.

To my knowledge - ITV News have done nothing outside of normal programming, unless they did something during 'This Morning'. Beggars belief.

I was quite surprised that ITV didn't interrupt the schedule for the press conference. Just the usual summary at 11.10.
Just a few weeks ago, This Morning was taken off air for a News Special about Blair's resignation.

It's ITV News. What do you expect?

This is something the old independent ITN would never have ignored. But now most of it's owned by ITV and the Daily Mail .

ITV should have had an update, but they dont need to extend anything. Apart from the news of a second device - nothing really happened, i mean it wasent rolling stuff so to speak.

Oooh Fiona on location for the Ten.
