Ach. That's really grim
Liverpool bomb incident 14/11/21
- Thread starter T & P
- Start date
Perhaps the date was chosen then as Remembrance would then be all about that time all those mothers and newborns were slaughtered. Fucking grim.
Where are you reading that? According to the cabbies' mates (in the Mail of course), they got stuck in traffic so he asked to change his drop off address.

The ‘cabbies mates’ have claimed a few things now that are turning out to look a bit iffy.
It seems a bit more likely he'd be targeting the parade on Remembrance Sunday than a maternity hospital tbf. He improvised - a bit like the prick who blew up the bus in Russell Square.
I agree with you. But (if it is a Jihadi) they also like particular dates. 911 didn’t mean an attack on the police.

Cop said at a press briefing today that the taxi was booked to go to the hospital.
Russ Jackson, Assistant Chief Constable of the Counter Terror Police North West, confirmed the explosion was now being treated as a terrorist incident.
He revealed the man who died in the vehicle blaze was believed to have built the bomb that caused the fireball that engulfed the taxi he booked to take him from Rutland Avenue, near Sefton Park, to the Women's Hospital.
The timing of the blast, 10.59am, has led to speculation it may have been linked to Remembrance Sunday.
But while ACC Jackson said this was a line of inquiry that was being pursued, he added: "We cannot at this time draw any connection with this."

Fair enough - if that's true then it's even more insane. Im assuming the cabbie is being protected from the media so we won't know the truth for a while. Just so random to blow it up outside a small hospital - minutes before 11am on Remembrance Sunday when there's a huge crowd forming to celebrate British soldiers nearby. Maybe he booked the cabbie to go to the hospital and was planning to change him to ask him to change his route? The hospital being the target just seems so random.

Tired and unemotional
Soft target, innit?

Surely they are unlocked by the cabbie in any case?
Yes, once the fare's paid (in my experience). They had literally only just pulled up when the bomb went off.

This is totally irrelevant if it is true that he knew they had a bomb though right
ETA but aye fair point about the moving vehicle, I am not sure who would be able to report he refused to let them out anyway

WTF?
No idea - either way, he's a very lucky man. And a very stupid terrorist. Maybe he was trying to hit his 11am deadline?
stop posting shit like you do have an idea then
It definitely has certain similarities. Blow myself up in a locked car with a bulletproof screen between me and the driver. Brilliant.

Could see where they were going with the initial “joke” post on this thread tbh.

Hospital is both a soft target but also incredibly powerful as an image amidst a pandemic.

Front page of The Guardian. On phone so difficult to link.
Eta TBF they are not saying it's 100% confirmed, just that NHS has been advised to review security.
