I doubt that suicide bombers would have been so very blatant about their presence ... It's a stunt nothing more and nothing less.

Though I am amazed at the apparent ease with which a large number of individuals, not to mention banners etcetera, have managed to gain access to the said roof, I cannot find anything inappropriate about this particular police response. There would be far more of an outcry had, as a result of a more 'hands-on' approach, one of the protesters or a police officer been injured.

If they were going to do that, they would have done so already ...

I think that when all's said and done the security forces are probably a lot more aware then we give them credit for.
