" LONDON, England -- Police investigating an attack on
the headquarters of Britain's MI6 foreign intelligence service believe
a missile was fired from a rocket launcher at the building in London.
They suspect that a small missile which hit the upper
part of the high-security building late on Wednesday evening was fired
from a distance of between 200 and 500 metres.
Assistant District Commissioner Alan Fry, head of Scotland Yard's
Anti-Terrorist Branch, said the weapon used was known to be in the
hands of certain groups, including dissident Irish republicans.
He said similar weapons had been discovered in finds in both the north
and south of Ireland. "
Now, I am making the supposition that the "missile"/"rocket" that was
fired was a RPG. But doesn't it seem odd that almost exactly one month
after TBaTD was released someone launches a RPG attack on the
headquarters of the Intel arm of a country. On the other hand, I don't
really see who would invade the UK, so I don't think we're going to
see the rest of TBaTD unfold with Russia switched to UK.

That's the problem with revolution. Not all the revolutionaries can
agree on who is truly revolutionary.

Monty Python had a great bit years ago......revolutionaries have just
formed a new committee....first item on the agenda is
the "split"....IIRC was in "The Life of Brian"....an almost painfully
accurate portrait of a splinter group in Ireland.
Cheers,

Yes, that popped to mind when I was writing the above.
Brian: Excuse me. Are you the Judean People's Front?
Reg: F*ck off! We're the People's Front of Judea
Of course, every movement starts with a splinter group!
