From the Telegraph:
The man suffered cuts to his eye and facial burns in the attack when his device went off in the toilets of the restaurant in the brand new, £230m Princesshay centre.
Police sources believe the man was arming a bomb when it partially exploded in his face. He then tried to detonate a second device in the crowded street outside the restaurant.
Bomb disposal teams have recovered canisters of a sodium-based homemade explosive, it is understood, and there were reports that nails may have been part of the devices.
Police sources told The Daily Telegraph the man is a white male, aged 22, from the South West and is thought to be a convert to Islam.
A team from the Counter-terrorism Command at Scotland Yard was travelling to the scene last night as investigations continued.
Devon and Cornwall chief constable Stephen Otter said that a second device was found near the restaurant but refused to comment on a possible motive.
He said: “There were two devices, one on the café and one nearby. We do not know precisely how bad it could have been if they had gone off but it would have been quite serious.
“That is why we are treating this as a serious incident and investigating it quite thoroughly. In terms of motive we will look at all possibilities.”

As I said, home made, amateur night Jihad! Thank god for that! Glad this douche only managed to blow his nose off...otherwise we could have been following a very different story...and what better proof that Race isn't the issue but the Culture of Islam. The guy was a WHITE convert. I hope they bury him in the deepest darkest F*****G hole we have ...how bought a UK GITMO in the Outer Hebredies....no scratch that. Give him a trial then kill him. Much better!
The suspect has been named as Nicky Riley, age 22 from Plymouth. He has a "history of mental illness" - I suppose he must have if he is a muslim convert!
He was preyed on and radicalised by the real followers of the "religion of peace". They are now focusing the search for those higher up. Latest local news.
We've had several guys like that here in the U.S., including
a Korean guy with a Korean name, who preferred to be called Ismail Axe. He killed over 30 people at a University.
And, a crazy Muslim dude in Fremont, CA who killed a bunch of people by running them down with his car in San Francisco.
There have been more.
We call it Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
The media calls it "mental illness."
'We call it Sudden Jihad Syndrome.'
Thats funny, I like that one...
