    I'm not sure but if I had to speculate I'd say he went in there to prepare it for detination and oops. Nobody said they had any smarts

    I don't think this was an accident.

    We are being told that batteries and wires were found near and around the body. Emergency Task Force and Bomb Squad investigators are currently on the scene and are looking for any secondary devices.
    And we are also hearing that Toronto Police are being told to be cautious around any Tim Horton's in the city, as another Tim Horton's has been evacuated at 3222 Yonge Street after a suspicious package was found. That shop is located on Cranbrook and Yonge, just North of Lawrence.

    I apologize in advance if I'm misinterpreting your post, but Mr. Islam's name is hardly reason enough to jump to conclusions about who/what are behind it.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go sulk...I just lost again at Roll up the Rim.

    I just channel surfed the various local 6 o’clock new reports and nothing new. The Police chief was very careful to not use the “B” (bomb) and/or “T” ( (terrorist) word, but then I’m sure he was told to by our “don’t worry be happy” heads up his ass socialist mayor.

    I’m thinking he went into the washroom for a final check of his device and/or to psych himself up and oops.

    It’s not far from both my office and my apartment. If the wife hadn’t been feeling under the weather today I probably would have been up there to check out the Canadian Tire store and guess where I would have stopped for an extra large double double.

    why do you want all of toronto to freak out? He is being smart and trying to contain the situation until they get further information.

    I'll stick to drive thru from now on

    Hey guys....ok I know ppl don’t know what’s really going on but it seems like a case of a 'suicide bomber' of some description...how come this is not big news? I mean ok, maybe he messed up, but the potential for a disaster was here….seems strange that the news hungry media aren’t shouting ‘breaking news’ all over the place….I cant see it anyway on CNN or BBC....

    No, It is just an observation of IRONY running wild in the universe.

    Sunday afternoon is traditionally a slow news cycle. No one in the news room expect interns and the newbies. Probably will have to wait till tomorrow for more details.

    Because no one care what goes on in Canada, let alone Toronto.

    It would take at least 5 dead before it even rated a mention in the states.

    And even then, it would have to be a really slow news day.

    Not saying it's right, just saying it's true.

    Actually I'm hoping it makes the line up at the Timmies where I get my morning fix a little shorter and/or faster tomorrow. Hey Monday mornings are bad enough, but without caffeine.....

    Because the bomber is a lone nut who just wants to take someone else when he goes with a big bang?

    That has happened, for example the 2002 Myyrmanni mall bombing in Vantaa, Finland (also known as the "Kotikemian forumi" or "home chemists' Internet forum" incident).

    Are you ladies now defining terrorism as perpetrated only by peoples Middle Eastern in origin?

    One name in particular comes to mind, that of Timothy McVeigh.
