Well, they're not touching Scotland.

Not to be cold or nothing, but London is always going to be the target of everything basically in the UK & well, so much for the step up in security over the past few years.

Like I said, they did have a lot to deal with but damn, I hope this isn't used to support ID cards even more aggressively.

I hope so too, ID cards won't work
 
GROUP CLAIMS ATTACKS

A terror group linked to al Qaeda has claimed it carried out a series of terror attacks on London that have left a number of people dead and hundreds injured.


A previously unknown group calling itself "Secret Organisation al Qaeda in Europe" said it carried out the attacks.

Two London hospital have reported a total of 185 wounded after a series of blasts hit locations across the city on buses and Tube stations.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said there was evidence of explosives at at least one of the six sites.

Scotland Yard has denied reports they were warned of an attack by Israel minutes before the blasts.

Two people have been confirmed dead and at least 90 people injured in the explosion at Aldgate Station.

Prime Minister Tony Blair is returning to London from the G8 Summit in Scotland.

He said: "It's particularly barbaric that these attacks are designed to coincide with the G8 summit.

"It's important however that those engaged in terrorism realise that our determination to defend our values and way of life is greater than their determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people."

Witness, Angie, saw the bus explode in Russell Square. She said: "There were a whole lot of people around the bus. Next thing I was on the floor and there were a lot of people on me.

"I thought I was going to be crushed. The bus was ripped out at the back. It must have been a bomb."

The entire Tube network has been shut down and police have confirmed blasts at four sites: Russell Square and Kings Cross Underground; Moorgate, Aldgate, and Liverpool Street Underground; Edgware Road Underground; and Tavistock Square where there has been a confirmed explosion on a bus.

One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from King's Cross when there was a huge flash.

The train stopped and people were using umbrellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff.

He added people were milling around King's Cross covered in soot.

how did only 2 die? bcuz the state of that bus would say to me a lot more on there died!

i don't think they have found all the bodies yet, as people on the trains say there were bodies on the track and they had to walk round them to get away, and bodies in half on the floor

From what I was hearing, the top of the bus got blowing off & the shit tipped over.

So if you were downstairs you probably had a reasonable chance.

I'm not sure though.......in fact, forget I ever posted :)
 
things r gettin crazy, on tuesday there was a bomb scare at my work building in newcastle, and now london has just been bombed. more than likely the two r just coincidential tho
 
I gotta hand it to the londoners though. They seem to be calm about this matter (from what I see in the news). I guess beeing an object for terror through the years have taught them to handle this situations. If it were in USA people would be running wild screamin; BOMB THE ARABS :rolleyes:

I feel sorry for the victims and the families. I also heard about an attack in Iraq, so far 15 ppl are counted as dead. But hey, who gives a shit eh?
 
I just heard on Australia's SBS World News that 50 people are confirmed dead

I can't help but speculate that this will be the basis for another war in the Middle East. IMO Syria or Iran. I duno, maybe im paranoid.
