It is my sad duty to report a series of bomb explosions have happened in London today. Current news reports state that explosions occured in Trains and Buses throughout the city. 47 deaths reported so far. Al Quieda belived to be the cause.

If anyone here knows anyone who works in London, you may wish to ring them or the authorities for information.

Here are a few links to news sites so people can keep up to date:

As far as I know, Al Queida is reportably responcible. And it happened when people got to work via subway, buses :(

not sure, this seems very professionally done. at first it was said that there were just some power surges on the london underground. then reports of buses blowing up as well came flooding in.

@roach actually no they've been attacking the british for years

Yeah good point Euf....but if I was al quaida, and something went wrong in the world, I'd be the first to admit to it! Even if I wasn't responsible. :ph34r:

Methinks they're still the ones responsible. It couldn't have been the IRA, USA, or anyone else with a 3-letter abbreviation ;)

My condolences to Western Europe nonetheless.

well what did the goverment or army do to them first, ewm save it for the pol thread before you start it was hyperthetecal. i would like to say our emerigence services have done a wounderful job in keeping calm and handerling the situation.

I would like to quote a bbc reporter aswell

"the terroists job is to do that, to terroize, except the brief moments when the bomb had gone off, they have not terroized, the hospitals where redey, the emerigencie services where redey, and the britsh stay calm, people are walking home now, no histeria, no panic, walking home trying to find normalty again"

he is right, the people in the blast very quickly calmed down, saught help and did not over react, people are acting normaly now, a little shocked and saddend yes but mostly normal.

also i find it very strange where they blow up the bus up, they blow the bus right next to a meeting of doctors and parmedics (the building next to it) so the instant it blow there was doctors and paramedics on the scene, honestly you want to cause as much death as possible? then don't explode a bomb when theres the royal nation doctos assocation next door!
