The chapatti flour bombers.
As a reconstruction this is farcically thin on evidence.

Missed that one. The chapati bombers tales is second only to 7/7 in its absurd retelling - the fantastically clear CCTV, the weird science behind their bomb materials, 'it's bread' as uttered by one of the culprits when asked what he'd done, the mobile tracked journey by one of the "bombers" from London to Rome, the surprise underpants capture with its serendipitous video filming, de Menezes and the SRR surveillence
I wonder how much of the surreal nonsense was paraded by ITV

The sad thing is that people beleive in this stuff

Ok i missed this, is there a link to the video

[scienceplease 2]

Reminds me of Farenheit 451 - where the arrest of "terrorists" is staged for TV.
