BLAST AT CITY TUBE STATION - FOUR BOMB EXPLOSIONS AROUND LONDON

Sky News ^ | July 7, 2005

[RWR8189]

There has been an explosion at Aldgate East underground station in London, causing the closure of the entire Tube network.

There are also reports that a second incident took place at Edgware Road station in north west London.

The Aldgate East blast was caused by "some kind of power surge", according to Tube infrastructure company Metronet, which is responsible for maintaining the Metropolitan line.

A spokesman said: "We don't know the extent of the problem yet."

A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We have just sent some resources out to the scene."

British Transport Police confirmed that there are "walking wounded" and said paramedics have responded to one report of a person classed as "life at risk".

"It's chaos, with people trying to work out what has happened," said a spokesman.

"All we know at the moment is that staff reported a loud bang at 8.49am. No one is sure what caused an explosion, but it is thought it could have been a collision, a power cut, or a power cable problem."

One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from Kings Cross when there was a huge flash.

The train stopped and people were using umberellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff.

He added people were milling around Kings Cross covered in soot.

Egypt saying their ambassador was killed who was kidnapped in Iraq.

Not a coincidence!

[RoseofTexas]

This only strengthens our resolve even more so! Kill the terrorists kill them all! God grant our military and British servicemen wisdom and insight to track down those murders and bastards down!!

Lets put both Laura Ingraham & Ann Coulter on the Supreme Court!

I live in Sarasota, as you do. I am not worried about Sarasota, but worried for friends and relatives in NY. As the SkyNews people were saying, London was hit because it was a focal point for the media, plenty of media HQ there and the was a G8 meeting. It would seem our major cities need to prepare.

I personally think the Terrorists ARE planning attacks BUT their resources are limited. Therefor, they are spacing the blasts based on great time gaps for the most effect. JMO

Be sure to look at these photos in #2259.

Our Founders were incredibly inspired men.

Thanks for the Thomas Payne quote.

The b@st@ards, they exploded another bomb in the sq after the rescue parties arrived.

That's their MO....

AP: Al Qaeda in Iraq says it has killed Egypt's top envoy in Iraq

[mware]

If this is not a wake up call to everyone that the terrorist do not care who they kill in their demonic mission, nothing is.

Far more likely that it had some fool anniversary of some 7/7 historical event - but who cares. On that basis, every day is the anniversary of something.

From earlier in the thread -

July 7, 1937: Peel Committee report recommends partitioning Palestine into Jewish state (33%) on best areas and one for Palestinian Arabs in addition to British protectorates including Jerusalem. Reports refers to forced transfer, if needed, of Palestinians from the 'Jewish' part.

Going further back in history (and a bit later in the thread)

July 7, 1124 Tyrus surrenders to Crusaders

They take their history seriesly over there.

OK , W , use your best reading of The Riot Act while you've got these "leaders" as your audience

[Txsleuth]

Aw, jeez, just saw on Fox News that the terrorists say they have killed that Egyptian they had kidnapped...

Also heard this morning that they will be having a video of the one American not found in Afghanistan, being murdered...

This is just so damn maddening!!!

[pitinkie]

Yes I was!! I am so glad your family is ok! I cant wait for them to get home tomorrow!! I cant even text with them now!

[Gunrunner2]

>>To the bastards who did this - we're coming for you. Time to die.<<

Couldn't have been better said.

Prayers sent from TX.

The left will say that the CIA planted the bombs.
Just wait and see. I am not kidding. That is exactly what the left will
say. Look at the way the media is talking about a bus being blown up
without mentioning that "Oh by the way, there were people in it and
they would mostly be dead I guess."<<<<<<

The above is exactly what I have just listened to on KDWN radio in Las Vegas.

There is no stopping the liberal and their insane brains that work in reverse.

It does make me very sad, to know that the liberals are already saying we should not be in Iraq and this is our fault.

The KDWN callers are not the youths, but rather in the 40 to 80 year old groups, which makes it even worse.

Prayers for all those in harms way.

Just heard some media idiot saying the Brits will go after Tony...hot and heavy because of the tie to the USA and Iraq.

[tobyhill]

Al Qaeda appears to be killing in desperation for their survival. It's time for the world to stomp out all these groups.

[AFPhys]

Deporting them will not help.

They need to be eliminated.

London Calling...
Multiple bombs targeting subways and one bus."



Israel media says there's a claim of responsibility from "Al Qaida in Europe" (whoever that is).

Question now is: was London the only target?

Stay tuned...

Update: claim was posted on the Qal3ah site of Sa'ad Al Fagih. See screen shot from spiegel.de:



Claim includes threat to Italy and Denmark next.
