Oui - are you suggesting that there was a fifth person involved in the 7/7 bombings as a controlling mastermind who set the timers to explode before the planters thought they would be?

Definitely!

The car with explosives left at Luton Town station. A fifth person caught on camera talking to the four "bombers" before splitting up. One or two persons in the group may have been suicide bombers, not all four - see my previous diaries. I believe the guy on the bus was not suicide and Sidique Khan. I wrote about Sidique Khan and his 1 day trip to Israel. He was "linked" to Israeli bombing by British nationals in Tel Aviv. This is very puzzling to me, knowing how thorough the Israelis are on security, (counter) intelligence and terror investigations. If there was a link, Khan would have been eliminated by the Israelis.

Reading Soj's diary London bombings nr. 9, I will not discount Khan may have been working for the UK/Israeli secret service, and eliminated by the terror cell in carrying the rucksack with bomb. A tin foil hat may perhaps think of a double-cross while on an MI5 mission. There is a smell, the London 7/7 bombings investigation is not open and is not providing answers. I have repeatedly said, by secrecy of London police in comparison to the Spanish in their Madrid investigation, suspicion and conspiracy theories will grow.

I will let the investigation evolve before writing a new diary.  The 7/7 and 21/7 bombings are NOT connected. The London police have said as much this week and I fully agree. The 21/7 group is a copy cat attack, no adequate planning, knowledge of what they were doing, just very stupid and more of an ill-conceived hoax.

I enjoy the findings of Soj though, and going through all references. Thanks.

I tend to agree with you that there was another person involved in setting the timers/building the bombs for 7/7 but tend to disagree that the bus detonation was causeed by a message or call to the phone. For one thing, the networks do not go down, they prioritise different classes of phones so those sold to the general public have the lowest chance of getting a voice line. SMS messages are very compact so can be fitted in quite quickly. Phones sold for police or other emergency services to use have higher priorities so a network can seem swamped or out of action to civilian phones but not to the police's.

I would also point out that the network might have been busy but it unlikely the priotitisation instruction had been given by the time of the bus explosion. People were only just starting to emerge from the tunnels to let people know it was a bomb rather than the electrical problem originally thought.A text message whose alert would set off the detonator in the event of the alarm not going off would surely have been sent very shortly after the intended time of a co-ordianted attack and would have got through immediately. The bus bomber was also reported trying frantically to deal with something in his bad.  Surely if he was responding to a message signal, the bomb would already have gone off?

The person on the bus perhaps had a secondary role of leaving the bomb on the bus to hit the people leaving Kngs Cross station. He had walked to Euston to pick up the bus going back that way. He had also probably been stopped completing the "cross" or cardinal compass points patterm of bombings because of engineering works. Maybe they had been instructed how to adjust the timers if they were grossly delayed like that. My intial theory was and remains that he was trying to re-adjust the timer when he realised the bus he was on had been diverted.
