UK: Mirror journalists arrested for testing railway security with fake bomb
The Mirror explained that its reporters were participating in a “legitimate and justified journalistic exercise” to test the security of the London Underground.
One of the journalists is believed to be Tom Parry, an undercover reporter who has been with The Mirror since January of 2001. In January 2007, he prompted a review of security arrangements at the Ministry of Defence trains by successfully planting a fake bomb on an unguarded train at the Didcot Parkway station. In July 2006, he covered trains carrying nuclear waste to Sellafield in a similar undercover exposé.
According to a British Transport Police spokeswoman, neither of the two journalists have been charged.

Dear Readers
Why didn’t these two reporters leave the police to do their jobs without putting obstacles in their way.
The police have got the most difficult problems to sort out with these so called Muslim bombers that Blair and Co made welcomed in to our country, And with their human rights and civil liberties making a fortune for Cherie Blair and her lecherous colleagues have made a laughing stock of the whole British legal system.
I only hope that these two left wing scum Tom Parry and photographer Roger Allen are charged with causing terror and chaos are given the ultimate penalty, that is hanging for all terrorist.
why isn't vitriolic bile such as the comment above removed by your website?
