Yeah , the papers may be saying that , but the police ain't

If no bomb materialised, it was possible the device had been moved, that someone else was hiding it, that it had never been built or that the intelligence had been wrong, the source said.
Some newspapers speculated police were looking for a suicide vest but the source said that was not the case.

Well that covers just about every possible outcome doesn't it , apart from "its already gone off and we didn't notice"

Let us not forget ,what the papers said about a ricin plot that never existed , about terrorist in a big coat trailing wires and jumping barriers while fleeing police that never existed .

Rats, Tribesman, you beat me to it again! I especially liked the statement from the Met. After invading their house with more than two hundred officers, shooting one of the brothers and ripping the property apart to find not so much as a bottle of Domestos, they note: Officers will be in touch to address appropriate refurbishments.

Well, that's lovely then. Maybe they can get one of those DIY shows to do a special on them: 'Honey, the Police Ruined the House: After the Raid.'

And maybe the 'intelligence' service can try to think about what is really needed to make and deploy chemical weapons.
