"
The Daily Mail can reveal that the second device parked near
Haymarket was left at a designated "evacuation assembly point" where civilians
and the emergency services would have gathered had the first bomb gone off.
Investigators are trying to establish whether the bombers knew the
significance of the location


The paper adds that



it is understood that a policeman was removed from his post
after concerns about his conduct in the aftermath of a major anti-terrorist
operation in the past two years.
For legal reasons, the Mail cannot reveal
any more about the case.
