Since November 11th was a Thursday, the Brits decided to mark Remembrance Day today, Sunday. Queen Elizabeth II was supposed to attend a special church service but sprained her back so couldn't make it. Meanwhile, in Liverpool, this happened.
Inside a burning taxicab a "suspected terrorist" [Notice he didn't say "Islamic"... yet... Ed.] is being roasted, trapped there by a hero taxi driver who bailed out of the car and locked the doors moment before a bomb he was carrying exploded outside Liverpool Women's Hospital.
Britain's Sun newspaper reports that cabbie Dave Perry is in the hospoital, in stable condition with burns and shrapnel injuries, including damage to his ear. A colleague told the paper, "The driver is my mate, and spotted the passenger acting suspiciously, so he jumped out the car. This guy blew himself up, but my friend is OK."
Inspector Knacker of the Yard confirmed three men aged 21, 26 and 29 were later arrested under the Terrorism Act, elsewhere in Liverpoole. Being careful not to provoke Islamopohobia, detectives have not yet declared the blast a terrorist attack, but said "all options are on the table."
A major investigation is under way as the bobbies try to find out the identity of the dead passenger to establish if he had appeared on any intelligence-led lists of terror suspects. Hint from Walt: try "Mohammed"! Lifetime pct .981.
