Possibly, but it now transpires that the police knew the suitcases were not bombs because blood was dripping out of them; which should be a reminder to all potential bombers to stock up on beetroot juice and ketchup.
Not only that, but the suitcases allegedy came from London. One has to ask how someone carries two suitcases dripping blood from London to Bristol without anyone noticing? If he drove, why did he use a taxi for the last few miles to the suspension bridge?
I doubt even the most disinterested Megabus driver would load two blood-oozing suitcases into the storage area without asking questions.
This whole affair gets more disbelievable every day. It would not surprise me if the Chief Nurse of The British Army was the main witness that caused the chap to pose in front of the CCTV camera before dropping the suitcases and legging it into Leigh Woods.
