BLAST AT CITY TUBE STATION - FOUR BOMB EXPLOSIONS AROUND LONDON

Sky News ^ | July 7, 2005

OK, I have called Howlin on her land line.

[Eva]

I don't think that Blair should return to London until the city is secured. It is much better to speak from Scotland and wait.

[newzjunkey]

Well, we'll have to wait and see how many explosions make up the final tally. But that's a place to start. Other things to consider are anniversaries of attacks, assassinations anniversaries and so forth.

Also, one has to consider *why* this strategy in London?

blair statement expected at 12noon BST

No bid thing. I was just looking over those threads. Someone mentioned "Terrorists!" on one of the first threads before it was known what kind of plane hit the first building. This is obviously the most important event since 9-11 and I can't imagine what it's going to be like in NY, DC and other cities during the rush hour.

[Republican Red]

Glad to hear they are all ok.

Thanks for the update.

[mware]

I have been here a long time. Just posted their MO to confirm what we all know about this attack.

[Diddle E. Squat]

If not meant to coincide with the G8, then it probably was today simply because the date (7/7) is easy to remember, easy to use as code, and a bit of pattern, which the stupid fanatic Islamifascists seem to have a fetish for.

[Peach]

Thanks, Jet.

[beyond the sea]

That's what they do in Israel all the time. Where have you been?

I was aware of that... that is was done in Israel often. The word "unbelievable" I used meant DISGUSTING! Save your admonishments for some one else please.

[Miss Behave]

Laz, ESPECIALLY durbin. Yes, with a little d. Just like his.

Sky : Tony Blair statement at midday GMT ( in approx 45 mins )

[onyx]

Thus far, 7 explosions on the 7th day of the 7th month.
Serious carnage.

MAJOR attack according to Sky news.

[durasell]

we've been on high alert since 9-11

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Oh please no...

[Nowhere Man]

Thank God they're OK. Prayers.

[tomkat]

Prayers are all well and good I suppose,
but these gentlemen should be consulted as well:

[Peach]

Where did you hear about the financial district?

[jjbrouwer]

Pretty nasty stuff. I was listening to the radio this morning (I'm back in London) and they thought it was just a power surge on the Underground.

They quickly realised it was far worse than that.
