BLAST AT CITY TUBE STATION - FOUR BOMB EXPLOSIONS AROUND LONDON

I just heard it again on a news report..........maybe a half hour ago??......... so I'm wondering if it's been verified.

Honestly, it would not suprise me if it were a homocide bomber. I just always figured they would hit the US first.

There are many idiots on that side of the aisle, I am looking at press releases now, from everyone. Intersting!

I always go with the unwritten rule that in the live threads that rules of spelling and grammar are suspended. :-)

I will always remember hubby's brother calling from California on the evening of 9/11, saying "I know you don't work anywhere near the Trade Center but I just had to hear your voice." There's enough terror to go around and I pray for everyone touched by this.

Of course, it wasn't a good day to be in the European markets; they all closed well down.

Sky News is reporting that the bus was probably blown up by a homicide bomber, but it has not yet been confirmed by Scotland Yard. They are more interested in trying to trace the particles of the explosives used, as if they were not homicide bombers then they are still at large and that is of major concern.

That woman has zero talent

She's not even a woman, IMO.

A significant portion of the UK population, I've seen no recent polls but it's obviously a lot, will blame Iraq.

This is not good for Tony Blair, but I don't think it'll cause any immediate change in UK policy regarding Iraq.

MSM is now trying to separate Al Qaeda from "Al Qaeda wannabes". I guess they still haven't figured out we're at war with an ideology not just "separate" groups.

Thanks for that info, defconw. I guess we'll have to wait until all the facts are in to know.

It just would be interesting if the bus were a homicide bomber, and the tube bombs were detonated......

[null and void]

Interesting rant on DU about this.... To end on a rather ominous note, there have also been reports that the Tube system in London is due to close for days at a time for "improvements to be made". In the weeks and days preceeding 9/11 we know that the WTC was evacuated many times, sometimes for hours in "security drills". There were eyewitness reports of plain clothed men workmen working in the towers throughout said drills. On 9/11 the towers came down in a uniformed fashion akin to purposeful demolition. Larry Silverstein, the owner of the complex is also on record as saying that WTC 7 was purposefully brought down with explosives on that day. Explosives would have taken days or weeks to be placed. I therefore wish to ask who will be making the "improvements" to the London subway, what will they be doing and who will be monitoring them?

Remember the Kathlene(?) Harris/Tennessee Driver's license scandle? One of the people she issued phoney ID to had a contractor's work permit to 'fix' the sprinkler system at the base of the WTC, dated as few days before the attack.

The WTC doesn't contract out such work.

The smoke from the fires was jet black, not the lighter steam diluted color one would expect if water were actually making it to the flames.

[defconw]

I don't care what group the morons are from, I want them found and quick!

[Fudd Fan]

Does 'proper burial' include sewing them up in a pig's carcass?

For me, it does.

[ohioWfan]

Is a significant portion of the UK population unaware that there was terrorism prior to 2003?

How could they seriously blame any terrorist attack on the war in Iraq? I know the leftists will do that, but a 'significant portion of the UK population??' It seems doubtful....

"Christine Amanpour on CNN now."

Hasn't she moved over to Al Jazeera yet? /semi-sarc

As I awoke this morning early I turned to FreeRepublic to enjoy my cup of coffee with, the usual enjoyment was replaced with horror...

It took me just a few minutes to add the TV News to my morning routine and within a few minutes the level of what happened began sinking in. As it did the sobs and tears that I thought had been left back in the months following 9/11 came flooding back.

My prayers are with London.

Some call what I have a type of PTSD around events such as these...I call it anger, pure Godly anger.

[tobyhill]

I agree. It's time people quit separating terrorist and terrorist. I don't believe Muslims are taught to be terrorist, I believe they are bred to be terrorist regardless what they want to call themselves.

[keysguy]

NO matter what happens it is always Bush's fault,unbelievable how the rats will spin anything anywhere, anytime.NO patriotism for them at all.

[Txsleuth]

Not only are the dems using the "terrorists are trained by us in Iraq" as the "talking points...

but, their big thing today is, that "see, if Bush had just stayed in Afghanistan and gone after Osama Bin Ladin, this wouldn't have happened.."

Of course, what they don't admit is, that at least 17 military people died this last week, BECAUSE we are trying to get Bin Ladin, who is at the Afghanistan/Pakistan border!!

Also, that Al-Zarqawi, that was in Afghanistan, is NOW in Iraq, by way of the camp in the north part of Iraq!!!
