Email from Borough Commander - Viable Explosive Device |
|
You will have seen the news reporting concerning the green Mercedes vehicle found in Haymarket in the early hours of this morning (0140hrs) near to the Tiger Tiger nightclub.I have had it confirmed to me this morning that this was a sizeable viable car bomb (Vehicle borne explosive device). Media reporting that it contained Calor gas cannisters is also accurate.It is clear that had this device exploded, it would have caused a substantial number of casualties.It is too early to speculate on the individual / group responsible for this attempted explosive attack and i have no other additional information to share with you at this time.
