[MR KEITH] Do you recollect him carrying anything?<br />A. He had a rucksack, like a small, black camping rucksack.<br />Q. Was he holding it or carrying it in a particular way that you can recall?<br />A. I remember it being on his lap.<br />Q. Mr Biddle, not unsurprisingly, the story of how you survived the bomb at Edgware Road has been widely reported in the press and around the world and a number of reports have purported to give accounts of your experience and memories of that day, and in those accounts there are repeated references to the possibility that the man might have been wearing a rucksack on his back, and that is what you recollect.<br />A. I've said all the way along from the very first statement I gave to the police he had it on his lap.<br />Q. Did he have one rucksack or two, or one or two bags? Was there anything else that he was carrying?<br />A. No, I just saw one rucksack.<br />Q. Can you tell us a little bit more, if you can, about the size of it?<br />A. I would say it would be about so big. It wasn't -- it was one of those sort of small camping rucksacks that you often see people that are going hiking would carry, so it wasn't like a full-sized camping rucksack, it was just a small to medium-sized camping rucksack. As I say, so big.</i><br /><br />Even without seeing Biddle's gesture that description clearly reads like someone who wasn't into outdoor pursuits, and who didn't know the terminology, trying to describe a 20-30 litre walker's day sackStefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01467757421113856218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225855.post-38331593784803558032010-11-09T16:35:32.732+00:002010-11-09T16:35:32.732+00:00And let's ignore entirely the more-than-passin...And let's ignore entirely the more-than-passing interest in proceedings, and the foreknowledge of what <i>will</i> happen, that results in a comment like: <br /><br /><i>"You'll get your answer today when a survivor <i>will</i> testify that he saw Mohammed Sidique Khan detonate a bomb in his rucksack which was on the floor of the carriage.
