And if they're raiding locations in Leeds this is going to get messy really fast, isn't it? I can't imagine that that is going to do much for race  relations.

They're also cordoning off parts of Luton as well - which is had it's own share of tensions, partly due to the presence of Al Muhajiroun there.

And in some of the hottest weather we've seen in ages. Perfect riot weather.

Sky is reporting that there is a possibility that all 4 bombers were suicide bombers.

Given the fact that it's summer - well, suicide rucksack bombers kind of makes sense in that context - I suspect that there will be some "incidents" over the next few days.

BBC is now quoting Frank Gardner that all 4 bombers were UK born and that they were probably suicide bombers. This will now definitely have unpleasant repercussions here.
