Re: Police Debate if London Plotters Were Suicide Bombers, or Dupes

I too read that NYT article yesterday... I didn't post it because it's just a rehash of the following:

Message 21514859

However, the Sunday Telegraph account points to an additional clue the NYT fails to mention, namely:

None of the men was heard to shout "Allah Akhbar" - "God is great" - which is normally screamed by suicide bombers as they detonate their bombs.

Of course, it also struck me that the NYT used the word "mule" to describe the alleged suicide bombers... I was the first to posit that the four "suicide bombers" were actually mules run by a Mossad agent posing as an XTC baron. Somehow, the NYT misses the precise definition of a mule (#6):

mule [...]

NOUN:

1. The sterile hybrid offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, characterized by long ears and a short mane.
2. A sterile hybrid, as between a canary and other birds or between certain plants.
3. Informal A stubborn person.
4. A spinning machine that makes thread or yarn from fibers. Also called spinning mule .
5. A small, usually electric tractor or locomotive used for hauling over short distances.
6. Slang A person who serves as a courier of illegal drugs.
