Davkaus Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Running late for his own bombing so just blows himself up. It's very Four Lions isn't it. Best possible outcome though, except for the driver's ear. If it is as rumoured, a timer for 11:00 to target the memorial, that has all the hallmarks of this bomber being a disposable peon for a group, doesn't it. If he was working alone, why not just have a trigger, it's usually the MO of a group wanting to ensure their bomber doesn't have a change of heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gossip and rumour. Again this comes from the interview with the supposed friend of the driver. Just as the locking of the doors does. Pretty much nothing in that interview is true, it is a work of fantasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statements made by the Police so far don't support that theory. He rented the flat he was picked up from, he never lived in it. The neighbours have been quoted as saying they thought it was an empty property. There appears to be no others involved, even the people he lived with have been released and it has been stated they aren't involved. Nothing has been said about a timer, though I agree the evidence does kind of point to that and I agree re normal terrorist operating modes. I just think this oddly doesn't follow normal patterns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the theory is he had a bomb which was timed to go off at 11 he either didn’t allow enough time or the cab was late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its perfectly possible that this has nothing to do with 11am on remembrance Sunday. He could just be a shit terrorist that went over a bump on the entrance to the hospital that made him let go of the switch early (this is also pure speculation by way of an alternate theory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
