Olympics bomb scandal in london

A TERRIFYING flaw in London’s Olympic Park security was exposed last night after a worker smuggled a fake BOMB inside. He sailed past TWO checkpoints without being stopped — just hours before the Olympic Stadium officially opened. These pictures show the dummy Semtex device inside a heavily-guarded ring of steel — just yards from the showpiece Olympic Stadium. It looks like a bomb, it’s wired like a bomb and it has a timer like a bomb. But incredibly a worker carrying it in his digger was simply allowed to drive in UNCHALLENGED. This is a taste of Britain’s worst Olympic nightmare — that extremists such as al-Qaeda could stage a terror spectacular to stun the world. The Sun had earlier passed the worker the package after he called us worried about gaping security loopholes at the East London site. Astonishingly, guards failed to spot anything as he drove through with it unnoticed — just 24 hours before 40,000 people flocked there for the opening of the Olympic Stadium 82 days before the Games. Once inside the man openly took photos of the package next to apartments in the athletes’ village, which will soon house up to 17,000 of the world’s top competitors. During his 25-minute tour, he also took the “bomb” past the landmark velodrome and posed with it in front of the Olympic stadium.
