A car bomb planted in central London would have caused "carnage" if it had exploded, police sources have said. A controlled explosion was carried out on the car, packed with 60 litres of petrol, gas cylinders and nails, in Haymarket, near Piccadilly Circus.
An ambulance crew saw smoke coming from the green Mercedes, near the Tiger Tiger nightclub at 0130BST (1230GMT).
Two other areas of London, in Park Lane and Fleet Street, were cordoned off as suspicious vehicles were investigated.
City of London Police confirmed at 1700 BST (1600 GMT) that a stretch of Fleet Street was cordoned off between Fetter Lane and Ludgate Circus due to a suspicious vehicle.
Earlier a Scotland Yard spokeswoman said that Park Lane was closed at Marble Arch to Hyde Park Corner and a 200m cordon was in place.

I saw this in the Times but I didn't bother to read it. I don't know why people feel the need to make bombs but it seems its getting more and more of a problem.
