I do hope its one of them and he doesn't blow himself up or get shot dead, be good to have another one in custody and not let them escape.
I agree - they may not say much, but then again we may get some very useful intelligence from them. Just wait for the usual suspects to appear saying "shoot them"

Picture of special forces arriving already wearing balaclavas.

I wouldn't assume the guys in balaclavas are SAS, they could be the Mets own SO19 firearms unit. The SAS would have been alerted and would have been close by anyhow. There was an incident in my home county where a army officer house was under threat by the IRA, the SAS turned up dressed as police.

Don't believe everything you see. Also if the SAS do go in, I don't give much chances of the bombers survival. Only 1 terrorist from the Irainian embassy seige survived cos the workers their help hide him, untill they were hauled outside and identified.

Exactly Bravo2zero and could be why police are pushing the barriers further back

Depends if they can see him or not. If they can and have a clear line of fire, 2 snipers should do.

Once that terrorist was identified and separated from the hostages, they were about to "slot" him, when one of the SAS troopers noticed a journalist on a nearby rooftop. They decided the press of a killing in cold blood (which Thatcher had authorised) was not worth it, and let him live.

Doubt is is the SAS - Not seen Heno (Ross Kemp) or the rest of 'Red Troop' on the scene yet.....

More likely to be SO19

Looks like we might be in for a bit of a siege situation here, which is always interesting......not!!! It's great fun standing behind a heavy ballistic shield for 1/2 hour, let alone 5 or 6 as sometimes happens. The armed lads arriving will probably be so19 ops team backup getting into place to bolster the containment or possibly relieve aspects. SAS will not do containment siege type ops unless there is a hostage and even then they do the assault, its the cops who always do the initial stuff, as i've mentioned before for uksf to be involved the whole thing has to be turned over, in writing, to the army who deal as they see fit. Not their kind of thing. Dare say a youngish looking chap about 5'8 with short cropped hair and a certain look in his eyes will be present whispering into a liason officers ear about now though!!

I do hope the police remembers what happened when they sieged the Madrid bombers.

He may be just praying before "lift-off"
