What a bunch of al-amateurs
If you want to be a terrorist, the golden rule is: TERRIFY PEOPLE.
Two weeks on from 7/07, London entertains a bunch of wannabe fanatics whose bombing atttempts were a bit of a damp squib. In addition to having minds too feeble to negotiate life beyond the vision of a few Muslim fanatics, they can't even set off an explosion without making a hash of it. I think I'll give the only reaction such lightweights deserve: I'll laugh at them.
What do we call guys who desperately want to be big-bad terrorists but aren't? 'Scareists' perhaps? Worryists? Apparently the guy left holding his smoking backpack had 'an unusual expression on his face'. Hardly surprising - at that point he expected to be in the company of 72 virgins, not 72 annoyed commuters. (By an amusing coincidence, 72 is also the capacity of a Routemaster bus.)
