    What’s he going to be then? A Libyan we’ve given asylum to?

    The bomb? might have gone off a tad early.
    Probably was going to get out of the taxi and walk into reception.

    The pictures suggest it was an incendiary device, or one where the packing didn’t detonate correctly

    Maybe he wasn’t go to pay or indeed have any money.the default position in most taxis is doors are locked so they can’t do a Runner.until they pay….sometimes it’s the small detail that scuppers the big plans…thankfully in this case it did.

    half a pound of explosives would obliterate the taxi and all in it. whatever it was was a damp squib.

    Could be one of the old fashioned sugar bombs or fertiliser bomb

    Homemade rather than commercial explosive

    fertiliser ones usually large and left in cars or vans. a bit heavy to cart about.

    Good to see the driver escape and lock the bomber in to burn
    Watch the video, it's not what happened, the cab was pulling up outside the hospital when the bomb went off. Shorty after, the cab driver got out and ran.
