Bomb fail in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Not bothered unless I am in the close fasinity or it

Dane here. I just heard of this as I, in quite hung over condition, went for junk food at the nearest pizza place. While waiting for my Ham and Pepperoni to finish, I looked at the newspaper on the nearest table.

So a bomb went off, huh?

That was more or less what went through my head. Then I paid for the pizza, and stumbled back to my apartment. Maybe it's because I'm trashed right now... I don't know. But this doesn't make me the least bit concerned. I live in Aalborg, and not Copenhagen, that might hav esomething to do with it, but still...

How would you react if this happened in you country? I'm still not afraid of terrorists specially if they are as incompetent as this guy.

This happens in my country pretty much every day. Well, Northern Ireland anyway.

A bomb went off near me when I was up there recently. Scary shit man.

Still, strange to see it on the continent. I'd like to know what the motive was.

Pretty sure the motive was "Blow shit up"

you just summed it up perfectly really in 3 words...

Reminds me of this, where I lived for the last 4 years. It was pretty damn funny to be honest, but everyone was worried when the police closed the entire city centre. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7671415.stm

Wait. Did you say one-legged bomber? What the fuck was he going to do? Set the bomb and hop away?

He probably had a prosthesis but I dunno how he got it. He might be a suicide bomber who doesn't get the concept of suicide. This man is not only a terrorist, he might literally be an idiot.

Apparently his target was Jyllandsposten, the newspaper who printed the cartoons originally and not the train station as I thought originally. Also it seems it might just have been his detonator that went off in the toilet and police is now searching for more bomb material.

I just think it's one HELL of a coincidence that the bomb was found one day before September 11th. But maybe that's just me?

The bomb was also found on Eid, which could have meant an entirely different message being sent.

Also it was found on a Friday - the best days to blow people up are Friday night and Saturdays (more people out and about). The date could - and almost certainly is - purely coincidental.

... that last bit isn't meant to sound like a recommendation.

I wouldn't be too worried anyway - this isn't so much 'organised terrorist plot' as it is 'deranged fuckhead'. A bit like that guy who wanted to blow planes up by setting fire to his shoes.

(Yes, that is why they check your shoes for explosives on aeroplanes now. No, it doesn't make any sense.)

OT: Stuff like this in England only ever seems to be attempted in London, and that's 3 hours away from me so it's hard to feel much connection to such things (for me, at least).

i live in the UK, but not in London, so if any terrorist bombings were to happen, odds are i'd not be affected, since London is pretty much the main target for any terrorists here.

Speaking as a Mancunian, and remembering the regular bomb threats and gaping hole in my city when the IRA blew it up, I feel obligated to correct you on the 'it only happens in London' point.

(although we did get a lovely new city centre out of it)

Ulster also gets blown up quite a lot.

Southern European!? I doubt it... Probably North Libyan or something.

Ot: I doubt anyone would bother trying to pull of a terrorist attack here in Malta. It would be a waste of time and resources.

Yeah, it's not like any Basques have ever tried to blow anything up. Or have recently declared another "honest, we mean it this time" ceasefire...

(although Denmark might be a smidgen north for Basque separatists)

This reminds me of that show 1000 ways to die.

Where a bomber died because of daylight savings. Heh we have 1 hour, clock resetting... ??? WTF! Boom.

But yeah it's crazy how these things work out. As they said in the Hurt Locker most longtime bombers are missing fingers and have injuries from their creations.

 

[Kurenai_X]

lol this thread fails just like the moron who tried to do that, people however are naive and think just because he's arab (most probably from Algeria,Morocco, Pakistan or Iran) tried to do that makes them muslims. What Imperator_DK said is true and we "the actual muslims" hate it when stupid people start blabbering about (MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS! DIE MUSLIMS DIE) BS because of a few rotten apples.

There is one thing I don't agree on and that we are oppressing our women, it is a choice and lately (here in Dubai) a lot of them don't care about religion, do we stone them? Hell No! Do we murder them? WTF! That's only in Iran and those kinds of things don't happen here.

Make sure when you do flame arabs "The real ones" who are muslims, know where they're from not just stupid Extremists who believe everyone who isn't muslim should die and get murdered.

That's what I was thinking. Why would Basques attack Denmark? Like I said, probably Libyan. The Basques haven't been particularly violent as of late, though.

Well, nowadays it only seems to be in London.

The IRA was a bit before my time - or very early in it. I don't really know to be honest.

I spent quite a bit of my primary school years being evacuated from places (including my school) because of bomb threats - which was always more 'inconvenient' than 'frightening'.

The fact that you feel that the IRA is definitely 'before your time' is pretty great though - it's the sort of thing that makes me realise that the peace process is genuinely going somewhere.

Lol fail arab is fail. I'd say its a 95% chance of a muslim there.

Uuuh, don't bite Ethan. Just don't bite...

OT: Stuff like this in England only ever seems to be attempted in London, and that's 3 hours away from me so it's hard to feel much connection to such things (for me, at least).

I am slightly scared. You know my name?

Fortunate incident right there, i guess it had something to do with those muhammad sketches you guys put out a while back.

I'm not particulary afraid of terrorists, we here in Sweden also had one guy who sketched Muhammad as a dog. All that happened to him was that some brainwashed teenagers failed to burn down his vacation home. They are on trial now i think.

I detest the idea with 100% of my mortal being. That people will blindly attack someone for assaulting their ideology. I am going to build a nuclear bomb shelter and stay there until after the shit hits the fan.
