Re: London is being bombed
Strange that this should happen just after London has just won the Olympic 2012 bid. Are terrorists trying to tell us something here?

Re: London is being bombed
I was very surprised no one else had to be honest.
With Silverstone on Sunday, around 200,000 attending, going to be crazy security.
Majority of London Police are in Scotland

Re: London is being bombed
Now everyone's waiting for more information. There was a bomb on a bus and a bomb/collision on the underground, which now has a lot of people evacuated. I think everyone's waiting to find out who is responsible. My dad is in London somewhere. Fun.

Re: London is being bombed
Im in london now, got evacuated at Liverpool street. Its a bit chaotic out there, I work just round the corner from the bomb blast at russell square, sirens havent stopped since 9am. Apparently this is a major terrorist incident and from what I saw at Liverpool street station that is what the authorities thought from the very start. Its not a power problem.
CrashTester reporting from London.

Re: London is being bombed
All the mobiles I've tried phoning this morning can't get through. So either the network's jammed with callers or the networks have been shut down as a security measure.

The police shut down the networks when something serious happen so that only they can use it to full effect.

Agreed
They targeted the tubes to make everyone get the buses, and those buses that were used to divert the travellers from the blown up stations were bombed. So either way those people were going to be bombed.

Re: London is being bombed
Well some guy on sky news is attempting to draw comparisions to Madrid and trying to say it could be Bin Ladan and Co. without naming any names. this seems unlikely though.
It is most likely linked to G8.
What time did this happen?

Re: London is being bombed
If it's not Bin Laden and co then who else could it be? The IRA? Anti-G8 hippies?
It's gotta be one of those Islamic terrorist cells dotted around the world that Bush would have us believe are all under the direct control of Bin Laden.

Re: London is being bombed
yes, bin laden, who else? those anti-globalisation people are happy with beating up the police and starting riots, they dont bomb subway stations. and the ira? they are pretty much finished as far as i know and even in there prime time they didnt manage something this big.
whoever did it, its starts looking pretty bad

Re: London is being bombed
Well, everyone's repeating the same thing over and over and waiting for more news. I did hear (as mentioned above) that someone said that "arab sources strongly suggested it was Al Qaeda" but that was the only thing I've heard. I've turned it off now tbh, though I might turn it back on so I can see what Tony has to say

Re: London is being bombed
I suspect Bush will leave the country before he decides to make any remarks about how this is an example of why we should keep waging war on arabic countries, I mean err, terrorists.

Re: London is being bombed
this may sound a bit iffy, but isn't bombing edgeware road a bit like hitting your own 'hood?
i suppose when you're willing to kill people it makes little difference where.

Re: London is being bombed
To expand on my last post. five news are reporting that the MET have confirmed that theres been 5 blasts on the tube and 1 on a bus. Considering theres reports of 3 busses which were involved in explosions would suggest theres atleast 8

It would seem that they have gone out to kill people, the experts on all the channels are saying that they could have killed hundreds if not thousands if they had wanted. It would seem more they wanted to basically shut london down rather than looking for casualties
