8:49: Everybody going to work, explosions in the tube at 4 spots. Blamed on power surges.
Then a bus blows up, clearly by a bomb says an eyewitness.
Tony Blair, still unsure as to whether its terrorists. The timing and places seem obvious to me.
Or it could be something to do with the olympic bids...

yeah I saw the news and the statement issued by Blair, some fucked up stuff going on, seeing the walking wounded was pretty horrific as well
( BTW deleted Urmammasman's Post because it was derogatory, insensitive and offensive, I dont want a trivial hate war going on when something this big is happening )

I don't know what his post was, but urmammasman please don't post in this topic I don't give a shit what you have to say about this really.
Confirmed terrorists, apparently a website claims al-quada did it. Bastards.

BBC were informed by Arab officials that it was probably Al-Quaeda
Blair confirmed the attack was most likely aimed due to the G8 summit
Which actually works in favour of world vs Terrorism, which is a plus side

I seriously think it was supposed to harm the olympic bid.
I mean, imagine this happened yesterday... the London bid would have been laughed off.
Now, if it was the G8 they wished to disrupt, then why didn't they do it earlier?
Still such a tragedy.
And it wasn't actually Al-Q'uaeda, it was a splinter cell based in Europe.
Don't believe everything you hear/read. Propaganda worked in the US, it sure as hell better not work here.

I doubt it, thats kind of elaborate, and the only reason that they would do that is to inspire racial hatred. Altho it depends whos framing who.

Not framing, claiming fame. When 9/11 went down, everyone was saying it was their cell, to get people afraid of them. I thought it was only 3 in the subway and one bus?

Yeah I know, Also did you hear about the bus? It was actually meant to go past Kings Cross, so it would pick up all the passengers who couldn't get a tube then the suicide bomber blow it up. But it was too late and it got rerouted after the bomb went off. So apparently the bus driver stopped to ask directions when the suicider let the bomb off. Bastards.

It is indeed a sad thing that happened at London. And they havn't reached some other wreackage from the bombs so there is more dead to be counted.

Actually that's called people who analyze terrorism and patterns of attack doing what they've been studying for the past 20-30 years.

No, maybe in America or wherever you live, but here in England it really is media just clutching at straws.

Now, on with the topic. I saw the thing on the news. 39 people killed? Or less? More? Anyways, I saw that the wounded were in the triple-digits.

39 yesterday, up to 50-some now I think. Four bombs (
http://slate.msn.com/id/2122265/ is the source):
"The explosions of the four bombs were spread out over about 50 minutes, with the last one hitting a double-decker bus at 9:47 a.m."

Ah yes those evil media people last time I checked the media were the ones who got the truth out to the masses and the government was the one who held the info back?
Where were these seven bombs then?

Oh okay 7 bombs = 7 detonations in my mind, so 3 weren't detonated?

Someone speculated 7, there was infact 4. No more were found. This will tell you all you want to know. All in a timeline, where and when.
