In the last week Muslim terrorists have killed civilians in the following countries; Thailand, Philippines, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan and India. As of yesterday, there have been 11,140 Islamic terror attacks since September 11, 2001. How many civilians have the kamikazes killed

I would guess that he did NOT build these bombs himself but collected them en route to Exeter. No doubt in next few days it will become clear.

"isnt it time to ban islam and ban the koran? " -- Neil, london, uk

Do you seriously think that banning Islam/Koran will stop terrorism? The worlds first terrorist group was Israeli and the largest is Tamil tigers and dont forget the Japanese kamikazes/IRA.

isnt it time to ban islam and ban the koran? Lets see our leaders finally face up to what islam is. Which will never happen :(

No doubt terrorist would hunt for the weak and vulnerable people in the society to turn against their own self and others. However drawing a generalised conclusion that being detained,having Asperger’s and schizophrenia means some one has a low IQ shows real stigma against mental disorders.

Well, I think Andy L. nailed this one. Normal, rational people don't go 'round strapping explosive devices to the torso. If you can find a SANE one, THAT would be news!

Those committing suicide, do so with no intention of harming others. Those who fasten explosives, shards of glass and nails to themselves, before exploding them in shopping malls and other crowded places, intend to kill as many others as possible. They are homicide bombers not suicide bombers.

To be a suicide-bomber, you MUST be a half-wit. The Yorkshiremen who committed the London murders were'nt exactly the sharpest tools! Why did they never ask, why hasn't Bin Laden done it yet?

What despicable cowards these extremist are.

Teresa, London,

Perpetrator gets pulled, he gets brainwashed by joint MI5/CIA security service operation.
He gets released and monitored, he gets activating phonecall.
We then get this half arsed bombing effort as a DIVERTION for a damaging by-election.
A Manchurian candidate to whip up anti Al-Qaeda propaganda.

Sean Hamerton, York., England.

A white half wit converting to Islam. His new best friends Islamic zealots. How many clues do our 'intelligence' service need. It seems MI5 had been aware of all the terrorists who actually planted bombs but concentrated on the ones who did not plant bombs. They call this intelligence led.

bert, hull,

"had three primitive but “viable” homemade bombs, which they believe he may have built using instructions on the internet."

Would an unstable mentally ill person be able to follow instructions and build bombs? Some thing is not right about this story.
