London's Been Bombed, it would appear

Post by AngusL »

BBC News is reporting 7 train explosions, 3 bus explosions, and a train crash... I've been watching the information, with views changing from 'Explosions' right after the incidents started, to 'Power Surge' when the trains started going, and 'Bombings' now... Complete chaos now reigns in the financial sector of London. Radio 5 has an emergency service running and BBC has dropped things to bring newsflashes...

A series of bomb attacks on London's transport network has killed more than 30 people and injured scores more.
There were three explosions on the Underground - which police said left 33 dead - and one on a double-decker bus in which an unknown number died.

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has returned to London from the G8 summit, has described the attack as "barbaric".

An Islamist website has posted a statement - purportedly from al-Qaeda - claiming it was behind the attacks.
