OK. I think for the moment the idea of innocent until proven otherwise is best to maintain, especially in the case of someone who has died, but, as I’m about to update, my conjecture has now been confirmed, though this would only be one of the bombers. I think we should remember no information has yet really been released about the train in the tunnel at Kings Cross. We don’t even know (eg) if the train could have been stuck in the tunnel due to congestion (this happens often on the tube) and another of the bombers caught. We don’t in fact know hardly anything. So it’s best to wait. This in the Times was interesting:

“It has also been suggested that the bombers could have met at King?s Cross station, as all three Tube trains which were hit had passed through there roughly eight minutes before the blasts. The bus which was ripped apart by an explosion 57 minutes after the Tube bombs detonated had also come from the King’s Cross direction.”

If this was the case then one of the trains didn’t get very far. Also it leaves the bus as even more of a mystery. If this was an intentional suicide, since the bomber seems to have been leaving Kings Cross, and not trying to reach the tube, this unfortunately will probably mean that the investigation in Leeds will hit a dead end, since the identification will have been forseen.

OTOH if they met at Kings Cross, then interviewing people who were in the area might bring up something, although again you really need someone to make a slip somewhere (or an insider leak, which with qaeda is unlikely) to be able to get hold of valid information.

Just thoughts. It certainly isn’t looking very amateur right now.
