Bomb attached to speed camera

Police have issued a nationwide alert after discovering a deadly explosive device attached to a speed camera.
They fear an officer could be killed or seriously injured if other devices have been placed in cameras across Britain.
Special Branch believe the device, hidden in a tyre, could have been timed to explode when a police officer opened the speed camera to change the film.
The booby trap was found inside a tyre placed on top of a camera on a busy stretch of the A5 near Cannock, Staffordshire. It was spotted by a council highway maintenance team who noticed wiring hanging out of the car tyre, which had been doused in flammable liquid. A spokesman for Staffordshire Police said today: "It is an alarming new development and we must catch the person or persons responsible for this."
In the summer 30 Gatso cameras on the North Circular were attacked in a systematic campaign launched by a group of militant drivers.

Maybe it's some high-school kid who got bored.
Nah, it's too complex for kids.

This will of course be used as an excuse to put up 5000 more cameras with facial recognition capability to "protect" the existing units.
