Looks like it could be an improvised device, or some builders chemicals that
overheated. Hopefully the latter but seems unlikely to me.

There are reports of folks leaving the station with burns on exposed
flesh. It sounds like a chemical reaction. We can but hope it's not
"the religion of piece" proselytizing.

If it is terrorism then it'll almost certainly be down to followers of the
peaceful not in any way militant religion of islam.

OOI

assuming that he is the actual wanted person and not just some random person
of the correct ethnicity (as in - the Birmingham Six)

I wonder if they identified him as a potential suspect:

a) from a name
b) from facial recognition
c) his general demeanor
d) a failed attempt to travel on false documents

anything else?

Look at Train CCTV of man with with bag getting on at station xxx
look at CCTV at station xxx for the time period you expect someone on
that train to have entered the station and see same man with same bag
touching in.
Strike lucky and find he used a registered Oyster card.

Just a guess mind.

Very little hard information two days later. One arrest in Dover,
another in London; are either firmly linked to forensics from CCTV and

Doubt we will be told for a while yet. Threat level has been lowered
again so looks like they think no one else is involved.

A friend who was in the police said many minor criminals aren't that
bright and often make one mistake which is all that is needed .

One I recall he mentioned was the interviewing of a suspect who had
previous form and had been brought in because of a torch dropped at
the scene.
Suspect was a getting a bit cockier as he got older and argued that no
way could they have found any prints on the scene because he had
learnt inside Prison always to wear gloves and the torch they said he
had handled would be clean and he had never seen it before.
"can you explain how your prints got on the batteries inside the
Torch ? was the next question.

A while back someone shared on a Facebook group a local newspaper story
about the police looking for someone who had run someone over. Someone
else then added a comment saying the story was unfair on her boyfriend
because his victim hadn't been watching out for people driving on the
footpath...

Yes I do know how they could have found out the identity of the person

my question is

did they in fact manage this in the time available before they stopped the
guy at Dover

or

did they just get lucky because he gave himself away, some other way

My interest here (as a tech professional) is in assessing the state of the
art of the technology to do this in 12 hours, where previously it might have
taken them 3 weeks (or more)

They don't need to look smart, just to get the right person. There might
be less paperwork and fewer awkward questions if it was seemingly lucky
chance, rather than something which could give some vague clue as to how
they knew.

ISTR once reading about an aircraft being sent to fly past a major
German warship, in the hope that when the ship came under attack shortly
afterwards the Kriegsmarine would think that the plane had happened to
stumble across it, rather than suspect that someone might be reading
their messages and finding them that way.

It's not guaranteed.
Most criminals are caught due to having some form of previous
interaction with the Police and establishing the end of a trail, eg a
bank robbers trail may have started when he nicked some sweets from a
corner shop as a 13 year old and became one to watch and whose habits
and haunts become known.
With a terrorist the trail may have been started by intelligence
services observing their coming and goings with other known people
doing suspicious activity or being seen at certain buildings.
In both case if the perpetuator of a bank robbery or a terrorist act
is doing it for absolutely the first time and is a lone wolf it
becomes much harder, surveillance videos will not help if the person
in the image cannot be recognized or are disguised unless they happen
to turn up again elsewhere unguarded.
There are experts at analyzing videos but as an example of how
difficult it is to find someone with no previous look at the Jogger
who pushed the woman into the path of a Bus recently, not even
disguised, reasonable video from the street and the bus, loads of
people about.
They still have not identified anyone enough to bring charges

Indeed, and they've wrongly arrested two innocent joggers so far. You'd
think the jogger should be relatively easy to find, as his home location
can be pinned down to quite a narrow area, and he must have been caught by

Yes.

Don't these bombers realise that with all the surveillance videos,
they're going to get caught?
It's not guaranteed.
Most criminals are caught due to having some form of previous
interaction with the Police and establishing the end of a trail, eg a
bank robbers trail may have started when he nicked some sweets from a
corner shop as a 13 year old and became one to watch and whose habits
and haunts become known.
With a terrorist the trail may have been started by intelligence
services observing their coming and goings with other known people
doing suspicious activity or being seen at certain buildings.
In both case if the perpetuator of a bank robbery or a terrorist act
is doing it for absolutely the first time and is a lone wolf it
becomes much harder, surveillance videos will not help if the person
in the image cannot be recognized or are disguised unless they happen
to turn up again elsewhere unguarded.
There are experts at analyzing videos but as an example of how
difficult it is to find someone with no previous look at the Jogger

Yes, but they can work outwards from the end of the bridge to trace his
route. That area must have plenty of cameras. And the case is high profile
enough that it may be worth the effort.

However, if, within a few days of the incident, they didn't realise that
they needed to do it, the footage from most of the cameras may not have

As would the bomber. The only question would be how long it took to

boarded the train somewhere with his bucket-in-a-LIDL-bag.

But were you Caught live so to speak by someone watching in real time
or a day or so later after a picture of bits of you appeared on

Perhaps you were lucky they didn't announce on the tannoy, " will the

Yes, it's been around for many years.

But instead of the early grainy, very low res, fuzzy, extended play VHS
images on worn-out tapes, it's now HD quality, sharp, clear, digital
images. Perhaps some are now 4k video quality?

They can now also be centrally monitored and stored for much longer. And,
in some cases, the images are automatically computer-scanned for car number
plates (ANPR) and known faces.

Your time will come: this is one area where Britain leads and the world
follows.

Yes.

One key thing is you don't have anything like the British tabloid press
which delights in keeping the population in a state of panic. What
Canadian newspapers I've seen on visits appear to be fairly staid in
comparison and some even have news in.

They can now also be centrally monitored and stored for much longer. And,
in some cases, the images are automatically computer-scanned for car number
plates (ANPR) and known faces.

The cost of CCTV systems is much more than just a consumer grade camera.
For public surveillance not only is there the backhaul, but they are
often able to pan and tilt, and need much better sensitivity/
illumination than those listed.

Have you actually installed and used those cheapo ones? They are OK for
the passageway down the side of a shop, but not much else.

There's not much point having pan and tilt if you haven't got someone
to operate it; the "do you know this person?" pictures generally seem
to come from fixed cameras. The need for moveable cameras is reduced
by siting fixed cameras at pinch points; each moveable camera is
likely to augment several fixed cameras depending on purpose. When you
get to the point of needing to track a specific target then you
probably are needing more moveable cameras (and zoom lenses).

No, I've been working in one of many areas where that is exactly what
is done when an offender leaves the scene of their crime. They're
generally too thick to go off down a side street so we've often
watched the police with us just waiting for them to walk/run past.

How are the police alerted to the flight of the alleged offender so

That would suggest it is mainly for observing the traffic when in that

I'm surprised to find that's the idea behind the cameras where I live.
Surprised because I know the police station (where the feeds end up) is
unmanned at the times when they would be most useful.

No, and the pictures it takes are virtually inaccessible to the public
even under SAR. I've never seen quite such a lots of bogus reasons why

fictional crime (e.g. the rather ancient series 'Scott and Bailey')
suggests that a mind-boggling Big Brother watch-it has been around for
more than a few years.
Yes, it's been around for many years.
But instead of the early grainy, very low res, fuzzy, extended play VHS
images on worn-out tapes, it's now HD quality, sharp, clear, digital
images. Perhaps some are now 4k video quality?
How many would sir like ?
https://www.cctvcameraworld.com/4k-ip-cameras.html
I wonder how widely installed those are? Most installed cameras are well
behind the state-of-the-art.
All new vehicles (trains, buses, trams, etc) will have had them fitted
since they became available. Its older stock and fixed installations
that don't get changed so often. I expect there are still a few tube
cameras out there more than 30 years after CCD cameras became ubiquitous.

dunno why youse guys in the UK aren't (constantly?) up in arms over
the seemingly massive surveillance you appear to live under.
Some are, but those don't get much coverage in the media.

There are reports of folks leaving the station with burns on exposed

If it is terrorism then it'll almost certainly be down to followers of the
peaceful not in any way militant religion of islam.

Makes perfect sense to me. LU timetables are just fiction. Someone should
invest in buying the drivers and signalmen some watches at least. Oh, and
sack the idiot who thought playing "There is a good service on all lines"
every 5 minutes was a way to stop people noticing that there hasn't been a
train for the last 10 and there are now 1000 people on the platform waiting.

you mean that they don't have them (watches that is)?

And in any case, how does having a timer stop the delay happening in the
first place.

and how does it help fix the problem?

(Yes I do know how to fix it!)

Because as a couple of hundred people are sitting in a train with a green
light waiting for the relief driver to turn up to take over, perhaps having
an alarm bell in the mess might remind him that he's paid to drive the damn
thing.

Another nice-to-have would be an auto cutoff interval on the PA if the driver
decides he's a budding talk radio host and spends 2 minutes telling us the
bleedin fecking obvious.

well having grown up on a route where turns started at the terminus (Morden)
I suppose that I never experienced that problem

But you're right it does happen on the Picc at Acton

But I still don't see that it's down to the individual not knowing the time.

The use of a timer is not a huge advancement of tech for the alan's
snackbar brigade, but it is unusual that they seem short of willing
martyrs. Assuming it's them and my money says it is (speculation of

Perhaps they are losing the ability to find dickheads willing to blow

Not on current evidence, this is the first attack in quite a while that
wasn't a suicide attack.[1] The exception, of course, being North
Ireland where there are still terrorist attacks involving bombs with
either timers or other ways of being detonated that don't involve the
death of the perpetrator.

[1] In fact I can't think of an attack since 911 by Islamic
fundamentalists in Europe/USA that wasn't a suicide attack.

Which lead to me making a formal complaint about the attitude of a
certain airline's check in staff (no, not that one). When asked the
statutory question about whether I'd packed my own bag, the female
chimed in before I could reply and said I probably got my wife to do it
as men can't pack their own bags.

There has been quite a bit of knife waving that has not always resulted
in being shot - thinking of Buck House for one. But yes, it's rare.

I suppose it's just possible the DUP/Tory deal has upset the IRA
splinters, but wouldn't they have access to professional grade explosives?

Possibly not these days. Has it been confirmed what the explosive was?

Still most likely to be IS inspired, they've been urging attacks on the

I think the Barcelona cell might also have been planning timer bombs, but
managed to blow themselves up while making them. Even suicidal jihadis
might want to plant more than one bomb each. Another post-911 train timer

As suicide by cop, they made no attempt to make a getaway after the murder.

Looks like it could be an improvised device, or some builders chemicals that
overheated. Hopefully the latter but seems unlikely to me.

There are reports of folks leaving the station with burns on exposed
flesh.  It sounds like a chemical reaction.  We can but hope it's not
"the religion of piece" proselytizing.
Seen a picture of the device on twitter with wires hanging out.
the device had a timer (apparently)
Which, apparently is a first for jihadi nutters if it is so.
But not for Irish nutters.
Or US nutters, the construction apparently being similar to the Boston
Marathon bombings :-

or just plain home grown nutters who like killing people for some
vague reason.

It's just some mental midget. ISIS would be embarrassed by such a device.

One would expect that an uncle, were he such, would be yours!

Maybe, he was just one of your uncles.

Yes, the other is still alive and in a bad way. Please don't make fun.

It took quite a while to be made public. Don't know how long
footage is kept on modern CCTV but doubt it is more than week at
the outside.
Yes, that may be the weak link.
