See a lot of this bothers me. Firstly there are literally DOZENS of targets you could hit that would cripple the UK, probably hundereds yet these "dissidents" (apprently white guys cant be terroists?) Like every other lemming on this planet just want to be on TV?
Really is that all they want? Media attention? seems a bit of a waste to me. Why do "terrorists" only attack the wrong people, nobody ever asked that question? WHY, is every "terrorist" on the planet a complete idiot? I mean they MUST be if they have no idea what they are doing.
It just bothers me that I KNOW various ways I could shut down this entire country down yet people who actually want do do this kind of harm cant figure it out? Its not rocket science, its not even regular science!
I suspect this threat like the 99% of them before this is completely manufactured! I often wonder why nobody notices that ONLY corporations & politicians beneift from terrorism, and thats a verifiable fact.

IF, and I mean if, any attack would be low key and nothing like the Provisional IRA. The group does not have the numbers to carry out a sustainable campaign against the mainland.
You are right, they just appeared fresh from nowhere. No experience, no materials, no logistics, no intel.

This contradicts every detailed report I've heard and read. What the BBC has consistently reported is that while it's true they do not have the numbers to carry out a sustained series of attacks like in the old days, the members are said to be highly trained and experienced and to be fully capable of bombing the mainland at least once.

I remember reading a while ago that the RIRA were working on a truck bomb, that they planned to send to London. I sure hope it isn't a truck bomb, having said that I think if it were then the police would likely have located it by now (or not).
I don't usually like making predictions but I have a feeling this is going to pass without much of an incident.

They have access to nothing.
All the old IRA weapons where destroyed including all bomb making equiptment years ago.
I know that this is not the old IRA but they have in total 300 active members, there leader is in prison down south for arms smuggling, they are a headless chicken with no support from the people of Northern Ireland.
They are also riddled with informers, so nothing to worry about.
They are relics of our past that need to be rounded up and delt with.
Peace and Love from the Isle of Eire (north)

Ah the expert from a foreign country.
They have no support from any side. You created this problem in hand with the protestants in Northern Ireland and cry when you get stung.
Im a protestant and even I realised that you created this problem. Same as you created the AQ problem in your country.
If you wouldent go around playing the worlds police you wouldent get slapped in the face a few times.
Again they have no support from either side and for the love of the big fella up stairs go read up on this counrty and it recent news.
If you dont like what im saying tough, im not an RIRA sympathiser.
Me -> ex British Army
Dad -> ex Royal Navy
Brother -> British Army
Mum -> British Army
Uncle -> ex Royal Navy , ex Ruc now PSNI
Uncle -> ex UDR

Despite a huge investigation being launched, no device has yet been found. A controlled explosion was carried out on a suitcase abandoned outside a hotel and officers launched a search of the sewers. Roads around St James Park, Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square were shut down as an investigation was carried out. A search of the drains was launched after police discovered a manhole cover that had apparently been tampered with. A painstaking search was launched around Admirality Arch after an officer spotted 'something suspicious' at 4.20amcthis morning. A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: 'A bomb threat warning has been received relating to central London today. The threat is not specific in relation to location or time. 'The Metropolitan Police Service, City of London Police and British Transport Police are working closely together and all officers have been advised to be a highly vigilant to ensure the safety of London.' The suitcase that was blown up outside a hotel was found at 9.30am this morning - although it was later revealed to be non-suspicious. Traffic was prevented from driving down The Mall and around Trafalgar Square, as the huge operation was underway. One officer guarding the cordon said: 'It's due to a huge security alert, but I can't say anything else.' Another officer said there had been a 'suspicious package.'
