I know the IRA used to do it, and there was that one in Greece the other day, but most times now there's no warning. |

Shoot straight Johnny
User ID: 36761005 United Kingdom 03/30/2013 12:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Eiffel Tower? That's the same as Blackpool tower...only French. And ours doesn't have any bombs. Probably cos it's not worth bombing. Or because potential bombers blow all their hard-earned in the golden mile instead of buying some decent explosives with it. See...we are not as classy as the French. The chariots of God are tens of thousands, and thousands of thousands. |

Most (in)famously at Omagh in 1998 they called a threat in for one place, knowing where the people would be evacuated to, then detonated a bomb in that place instead. That was the deadliest attack on British citizens prior to 9/11. |
