Going on past terrorist
bombings they usually send a coded warning just before the explosion...so it's possible they got a few minutes warning...

Hmmm...true.
They always say to report suspect packages - maybe someone saw one and reported it...?

Yeah, but that was the IRA.
The IRA were out for mere economic disruption most of the time. Warnings are shite if you want mass carnage, unless you use them to herd people toward the real bomb.

Terrorists are less sporting these days I'm afraid

Terrorists like the IRA
who dont generally kill tens of people, jsut cause maximum disruption or property damage give you warnings.

Fucking headcases inspired by religious dogma to commit atrocities dont give you warnings.
