Remember the speculation about the names of the stations hit on 7/7 having an embedded message? What stations on the target line might have been part of that message, if it existed?

(I don't mean to trivialize things, nor hype the message theory, just I tend to remember odd details that other folks miss.)

1. Mornington Crescent?

Not that I'm trying to end the thread prematurely (radio 4 joke).

(On edit - I forgot to say: "crescent" for the Islamic connotation, of course, as per the (rather un-credible) tube station message theory.)

3. Um. Not.

"It was also claimed that the calls proved the July 7 attackers had not originally intended to target the bus and that there was no al Qaida "mastermind" or wider support network, otherwise the confused terrorist would have phoned them for help."

The Indie and Guardian are much more explicit about this conclusion which for some reason the Daily Mail is reluctant to accept.
