Peripheral it is, but I've been wondering as well:

I was asking myself this morning,
what the hell's going on with those M.D.'s in London and Glasglow with
their amateurish fire-bombs?

From what I heard on the news, they loaded up cars with lots of gasoline,
some propane bottles, and packets of nails. The logic was that the gasoline
would light up, generating enough heat to make the gas bottles explode and
send the nails flying, shredding everything in the vicinity (the same type
of device was found in German commuter trains some months ago).

It's more than obvious to anybody with the faintest idea about exploding
things (that is, everybody who grew up as a boy in a place where pharmacies
were happy to supply the necessary substances) that this could have never
worked. Yet the authorities claim that these bombs could have killed
hundreds of people.

I wonder if they say that to encourage would-be terrorists to keep making
these utterly harmless "bombs", or if really there were high explosives or
other elements involved that they won't say anything about. And of course
they perpetually need to instill the population with more fear of terrorism
to sustain support for their pointless war against it.
