I haven't heard about that one, could just be in general preperation, I'm pretty sure we stepped up after Madrid and 9/11.

Well, then this has to do with terrorists..

I just hope that is just a threat, I don't understand why people want to bomb all of Europe

blair said it's terrorist attack

I heard them say there were numerous casualties at one of the tube stations, they didn't say which one, so maybe it is another which they haven't managed to get so much access to yet (all the TV crews seem to be at Russell Square).

(On a very selfish note, they have cancelled Neighbours! Noooo!!)

no way...

and how can you prove that?

Its 2 confirmed deaths at the moment. there Could be more, but there might not.
Theres hundreds of injures however. Many serious, and some not so serious.
im hoping it just stays at two deaths.

It can't be nothing else than a terrorist attack.. I don't believe one single civilian can place what, 8-9 bombs unnoticed in such a big city as London.

I don't belive Scotland Yard couldn't even think about a terrorist attack.
I also wonder if those rumours about other bombs are true, I wonder when and where those explode..

There were 90 injured ppl at one of the stations, according to some doctor over there. Can't be only 2 ppl died...

well, scotland yard foiled such an attempt earlier in the year.

and the sole reason why they said it was power problems and denied terroist bombings is to prevent wide spread panic.

i assume the people in the tube new pretty soon after the second explosion that is was an attack, but they had to evacuate large stations, so they say its something rare and 'harmless' - in order to get people out without causing a stampead.

It showed he is human though, his level of concern and not knowing what to say...I don't remember Bush being that emotional after 9/11.

I also noticed that. I wasn't sure if it was because he really was emotional or if it was because he just didn't know what to say, though.

Well the same story again. It makes me think back to Madrid 11/3. I was lucky not to have class that day because one of those was the train i get everyday. Many others werent that lucky, specially my best friend's sister....

Must say i fell really sorry for everyone who was on those undergrounds and the buss. Those cowards have done it again and hopefully it will be the last time a topic like this is created. I hope that all kind terrorism is erradicated for the good of all. Together we shall win!

oh, and alqaida(spelling?) has already proqlaimed (spelling?) the bombings

the b****** I hope they will someday accidently make a wrong mixture, and blow their sorry asses up, in their own camp

What the hell is there problem anyway?
Do they want to live on war? if they do, nuke em! (Not seriously by the way)
But what is there problem though?
Cant they let other countries do there own thing instead of getting involved
