***UPDATE II*** Second Device found…..UPDATE III: ABC’s Blotter (Surprise!) has news the potential suspect.

Paying the price for Multiculturalism:

“Police have defused a car bomb found near Piccadilly Circus in London’s West End.

The “explosive device”, discovered at 2am, posed a real and substantial threat to the surrounding area, according to a police source.

The car bomb was parked near Piccadilly Circus Specialist officers have made the bomb safe and loaded the car, a silver Mercedes, onto a lorry to be taken from the scene.

Police were alerted this morning to a suspicious vehicle in The Haymarket area in the heart of theatreland, close to Regent Street’s popular shopping area.

A witness reported seeing gas canisters being removed from the car, believed to be a silver Mercedes, at around 4am.

The vehicle was covered in a blue tarpaulin as forensic teams examined it.

The area, including Piccadilly Underground station, has been cordoned off and will remain closed for some time, police said.

Scotland Yard said detectives from Counter Terrorism Command were investigating the potential bomb plot.”

One of the reasons we do not need a lax immigration system modeled after the British. For those not familiar the are is a heavily trafficked tourist area. Evidently the “point system” where more points are given for greater skills can be a detriment as well as a blessing.

UPDATE: As usual the lefties take terrorism as seriously, as well, 9/11…..

……NOT!

Here too from the genius who told us there was no terrorist threat before 9/11.

UPDATE: Great piece at NRO at what “a moment” can mean.
