ive just noticed this LAT article from the 17th:
"Police have formally identified all four suicide bombers, Scotland Yard reported. Pathologists put names to body parts found in each of the explosions by analyzing DNA samples collected at their homes and from fingerprints left on a prepaid parking stub one of the men left on his dashboard." (Link)you'd think that'd be the end of my mindless speculation, right? wrong. and for a few reasons.
firstly, this is the only article that i could find that mentions this fact - so perhaps its another episode of disinformation that we have become so accustomed to.
secondly, if you have body parts from the explosion sites, and you have dna from their houses,
then you have all you need to identify the bodies. you dont need a fingerprint from a parking receipt - so why do they even mention it?
thirdly, if they were trying to build a link between the bombers and the car(s), then presumably there would be other dna evidence and fingerprints all over the car (doorhandles etc). the leeds crew had a 3 hour drive. further, if they looked through the car(s), then they would have evidence of all four men - but no, they specifically quote the one piece of 'evidence' that 'shows' that one of the bombers had bought the parking ticket. if they did plant the parking ticket, then the *one* thing that they'd want to lie about is the fact that the ticket had fingerprints on it.
odd?
in unrelated news, Lord Stevens, ex-Commissioner, Metropolitan Police, (who famously knew in advance that the 7/7'ers would specifically be born/bred/brits) joined the board of the companywhich does DNA and other forensic testing for the police. (via here)
in unrelated news, the name of the guy who saw the dead brazilian with a "bomb belt with wires coming out" is anthony larkin. incidentally, the lead forensic scientist for the MET police has the same name.

Interesting that Anthony Larkin info webpage has been closed down in past few days?

cheers - he seems to be off the "people" list as well
Larkin's QMU details are back online. Guess they must have thought it was a little suspect to make them disappear after the world had already found them.
More on Larkin-around here and some interesting theories about 7/7 too.
