I wanted to bring up this topic here, because as much of a CoreWhore i am, i wanted so serious thought put into this
So im sure you guys have heard of the bomb blast in NYC by the british consulate (if not click here ).
Now this blast was very small...it only blew apart a flower pot. Do you think it was a form of terrorism? Was it linked to the fact that it is the General Election in the UK today?

I personally do not think it was terrorists, if it was they wouldnt just want to ruin the consulates nice flowers. They would want to hurt/kill people. If they did they would have used a timed device and would have used it in the day time, not in the early hours of the morning. I'm also sure they wouldnt want to give away any clues leading to them by doing a poxy little explosion.
Whether its a lone individual not happy with the uks involvement in iraq, im not sure. But you can rule out the major terror squads like IRA, Al-Quida on this one i think.
Now they said the device had no timer and was probably lit by a fuse...so i think it was just some kid with a roll of firecrackers who wanted some publicity.

Discuss...

That would be my guess as well. Either that or a terrorist organisation against British flower pots.

Apparently a group led by Osama Bin and Ben the Flowerpot Men have claimed responsibility...

Anyway...if I've read the reports right the two toy (toy!!) handgrenades were inside the plantpot (which might explain why it smashed it!!) I think it took out a bit of the wall (like maybe if you hit a wall with a sledgehammer) and smashed a window. Still, pretty shitty terrorist attck after all the hype we've been gettin from our governments! (No doubt they'll use this to tell us the threat is still there!)

Such a tradegy, as a fellow gardener, my condolenses go out to all the flower members.

The IRA are not a "terror squad", nor are they anything like Al-Queda.
