CNN: Authorities Found Timer on London Bomb

EXCERPT:

ELBAGIR: "Yes, we understand from British security sources that a timer was found on this device. And you've seen the pictures of this bucket bomb, it looks extraordinarily crude. Police say that definitely the execution was pretty amateur, but really our sources are concerned about the ambition behind the execution when you see a timer. It leads them to the working assumption that the intent was to cause much more mayhem and exact a much bigger toll than thankfully it did. You can only imagine what could have happened given this was peak commuter time, if this timer had worked when it was supposed to and had gone off, for instance, in the center of London. And while police believe this was not necessarily or even particularly the work of a skilled bomb maker, there clearly was a lot of ambition going into this."
