London Times: Nightclub bomb alert issued two weeks ago

Nightclubs across Britain were warned they could be terrorist targets just days before yesterday’s attempted double car-bomb attack in London, The Times has learnt.

Please note there is also a link to the warning document at the top of the article. The document specifically mentions Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive devices (VBIEDs).

On edit: Here's a (chilling) excerpt, highlighted in another color on the first page of the warning document:

"In the worst case scenario your staff and customers could be killed or injured, and your premises destroyed or damaged in a 'no warning', multiple and co-ordinated terrorist attack."

2. Hang on to that thought for the next terror threat that will be all over the news
They didn't tell the public about this one but others have been conveniently broadcast when one regime or another needs diversion.
I would like to know their criteria for when and when not to alert the public.

3. Funny comment on BBC "Have Your say":
"Only British traffic wardens would put a ticket on a car bomb and then tow it away."

:D
