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.

We need to collapse the Arab economy. They only have oil.

Poor Arab countries are at least as dangerous as the rich ones. They become a problem when they pass through our borders. Restrict them to their own countries and let them kill each other.

Those people are infantile, outright stupid and weak.

Yup. When I go there I try to be objective because they come here and read one or two posts and make sweeping judgments about us that are inaccurate. Most of the posts are like ours: what happened? got any links? this sounds like terrorism... etc. But try counting the number of DUcialists who condemn the murderous Islamiscsists and compare it to the number condemning BushCo and the west in general.

The Islamofscists hate Western Civilization just slightly more than Leftists.

British Muslims were issued with a stark warning to stay indoors today, amid fears of reprisals following the London bombings.

I do not understand why officials always say "definitely not terrorism" before anyone has a chance to investigate.

A government's first response to any situation is to lie.

They can't help it any more than a shark can give up a meat diet.

Quote; I was watching BBC on cable and they had the head of one of the London mosques who actually condemned the attack.



That's their token cleric.

I was watching BBC on cable and they had the head of one of the London mosques (apparently one of the major ones, but I forget his name) who actually condemned the attack.

But will he say that in Arabic?

"Translation: "The attack against mighty and powerful America on 9/11 was justified, but this attack wasn't."

Ain't that the truth!

>That says to me they've found UXBs.>

The good thing is, all the preparation for dealing with terrorist attacks is paying off, thankfully.

We must remember that it is not a sin for a Muslim to lie to an Infidel.

Geez. . .he sounds like he is a physical anomaly. . .two ears being held apart by a vacuum.

AQ used the summit as a statement. They couldn't get to the leaders but attacked the country where it was being held.

The usual lefty-dirt-hugging protesters don't have the expertise to do something this large and well coordinated.
