According to a media report, police had the Exeter nail-bomber under surveillance for some time prior to the attempted bombing – yet allowed the Islamist to board a packed bus with a backpack! In addition, although both the Islamic and civic authorities are keen to deny any evidence of Islamic extremist in Plymouth, it is clear from BNP members living in that city, that there is mounting evidence of Islamic extremism – particularly in the neighbourhood of the university! Once again, the purveyors of multiculturalism and their acolytes in the brain-washing media are seen to be in a state of denial over the clear threat to this country emanating from a significant section of the Islamic community.

One report begins:

The Muslim convert held after a nail bomb restaurant attack had been under surveillance by the security services, it was claimed last night.

Counter-terrorist officers suspected mentally-ill Nicky Reilly had forged links with known Islamic extremists at an internet cafe near his home.

The revelation raised serious questions about how he was able to travel on a bus with 54 passengers for the 44-mile journey from his home in Plymouth to Exeter, where the home-made bomb exploded.

The 22-year old - who detectives believe was exploited by militants - even received a text message of encouragement before setting off on his failed suicide mission on Thursday, say police sources.

The bomb was a ‘viable’ fireball-type device constructed of drain cleaner, kerosene, strips of aluminium foil and nails.

It was extremely volatile and may have been detonated by shaking. Reilly suffered severe cuts and facial burns when it went off in the lavatory of the Giraffe restaurant in a Plymouth shopping centre.
