BLAST AT CITY TUBE STATION - FOUR BOMB EXPLOSIONS AROUND LONDON
Sky News ^ | July 7, 2005

Posted on 07/07/2005 1:45:13 AM PDT by 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.

Harrods is owned by a Muslim. So don't worry.
An Egyptian Muslim...like Ihab el-Sherif. That didn't help him very much.

Many are suggesting the Cold War being WWIII, and we have entered WWIV.

Didn't Zarqawi release a tape yesterday? I thought I heard that at one of the FoxNews newsbreaks around midnight, 12:30 a.m. last night.

Lets seal the border first. There is little point in bailing out while the hull is completely open to the sea.

Let the libs blame. They are just stupid enough to not blame the evil doers who did this terrible act. If they can't see that then they are not even worth the effort of hearing their stupidity.

I notice you haven't received any replies to your request yet. And I doubt you will - not that freepers aren't friendly - it's a deficiency of the ROP.

"That doesn't mean we are going to get him anytime soon ...(Zarqawi).."

Actually, I was just thinking that we might see both he and OBL wrapped up quite a bit sooner than later as a result of this latest act.

That's more than a little interesting. I wonder if we're having the same "threats" in the US.

And this relates to the bombing how?

As an example, consider the case of that one-eyed guy over there in London. He, an alien, constantly preaches hatred towards Britain and the West. Yet, he is still sitting there, collecting government "cheques."

It's insanity.
