July 7th bombs set off manually

The Police have told the Guardian that the bombs on both the 7th of July and the 21st were almost certainly set off manually, suggesting the theory the bombers were dupes, which always seemed fanciful, was wrong [Obviously we have only "senior police officers" as a source here, which has not got a good track record, so we should exercise caution]

This sounds a particularly unpleasant job:

A police source said the aim was to, as near as possible, put the bodies back together to learn "the position they were stood or knelt", when they manually activated the devices which killed them and Londoners in the morning rush hour.
