UK terror plot averted ! !

A car bomb planted in central London would have caused "carnage" if it had exploded, police sources have said.

A controlled explosion was carried out on the car, packed with 60 litres of petrol, gas cylinders and nails, in the early hours in Haymarket.

Police were alerted by an ambulance crew who saw smoke coming from the silver Mercedes, parked near the Tiger Tiger nightclub.

"International elements" are believed to be involved, the BBC has been told.

Police sources say it is quite possible the device failed to ignite - and might have been minutes away from exploding.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, head of Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command, said: "It is obvious that if the device had detonated there could have been serious injury or loss of life."

The ambulance had been called to the nightclub to treat a sick man, when they saw smoke, now believed to be vapour, inside the car.

Bomb experts manually disabled the "potentially viable explosive device".

is this london, or the lebanon?

Oh this could just be one of the UK/US government's many ploys to keep their nations scared thus giving better leverage to spend money and resources (human and otherwise) on big brother like activities... ever see Farenheit 911? The reason I say this is because of the phrasing... 'potentially viable explosive device' if it was a downright EXPLOSIVE, they could have just said that. However considering that fertilizer you haven't yet moved from your trunk and your black berry coupled with a cigarette lighter... you see where I am going with this right?
