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. Source: FNC news crawl.

That's really interesting. Thanks for the update.

Now I see why the urgency to find the homicidal bombers.

A GP who helped treat casualties following today’s bus explosion outside the London headquarters of the British Medical Association has described the scene.

Dr Laurence Buckman, from the BMA’s GPs committee, said the front of BMA House in Tavistock Square was splattered with blood and body parts were strewn across the road.

The building was turned into a mini hospital while casualties were moved away from the road and were waiting to be taken to hospital.

Dr Buckman told SocietyGuardian.co.uk that he was on his way to a meeting at the BMA and arrived 10 minutes after the bus exploded outside the building.

He said: “I arrived at the BMA just as the first ambulance arrived. My first impression was about the amount of blood. The whole of the front of the building was covered with blood - quite high up, I suspect that was because the upstairs of the bus had been blown off.”

There was also a lot of smashed glass and metal everywhere, he said.

Dr Buckman said ambulance staff told him there were around 10 people dead in the blast. Two people died in the BMA courtyard as doctors tried to treat them.

Just musing.

Today I caught part of someone's remark on FOX. He said something about how unusual it was for this to happen with no chatter. (Of course, whether or not there was chatter is something to be learned later.)

BUT, if there was no chatter and London was caught completely off guard, what are the chances of having an terrorist operative inside the British Government/Scotland Yard/SIS?
