Three bombs exploded in London's subway system yesterday, and one in a bus. Could it be that the bus bombing happened because the subway bombs closed the system before the fourth bomb could be detonated? Could the bus bombing have been "Plan B" for a terrorist who was supposed to blow up another train in the Tube?

That is my conclusion after reading this BBC report.

A bus passenger says he may have seen one of those responsible for the bomb attacks in London.

Richard Jones, from Binfield, near Bracknell, Berks, had got off a bus just before it was blown up in Tavistock Square on Thursday.

Mr Jones, 61, an IT consultant, has told BBC News he saw a man acting suspiciously on the bus.

He said the man was fiddling with something in his bag and seemed in an agitated state.

Mr Jones, who was forced to take the bus from Euston after Tube services were suspended, said: "He was standing next to me with a bag at his feet and he kept dipping into this bag and fiddling about with something.

"I was getting quite annoyed with this because it was a crowded bus.

"Everybody is standing face-to-face and this guy kept dipping into this bag."

I've seen reports of undetonated bombs being found in the subway system. Might it be that this man, unable to plant his device and unwilling to abandon it unexploded, found a secondary "target of opportunity" upon which to carry out hiscowardly act of murder?
