TERROR ATTACKS IN LONDON
Some 37 people have been confirmed dead and 700 were injured in a series of terror attacks on London. The death toll is expected to rise - some reports have said the toll is at least 52.

There are indications suicide bombers were involved and Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said the attacks bore the hallmarks of al Qaeda.

The first blast hit a train leaving Liverpool Street Station between Moorgate and Aldgate East at 8.51am. Seven people are confirmed dead in the blast.

At 8.56am another blast hit a train between King's Cross and Russell Square, killing 21 people.

Seven people were later killed in an explosion at Edgware Road Tube station at 9.17am. Three trains are believed to have been hit.

At 9.47am a number 30 bus at Upper Woburn Place was hit by a fourth blast. Emergency services have confirmed at least two people were killed in this attack.

London hospitals have reported a total of 300 wounded arriving by ambulance after the blasts.

The city remained chaotic into the evening as millions of people struggled to make their way home - and come to terms with the bombings.

A previously unknown group calling itself the "Secret Organisation al Qaeda in Europe" said it carried out the attacks as revenge for British "military massacres" in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Forensics experts are combing the bomb sites to locate any evidence.

Tony Blair flew back from the G8 summit in Scotland to take personal charge of the situation - describing the attacks as barbaric.

The Union Flag will be flown at half mast on all Government buildings on Friday in recognition of the loss of life.

EDIT2:
A friend of mine found someone who made a rough translation and summary of the statement:


Islam,ic ummah be proud of this attack!
This attack is an answer for the attacks on irak and afghanistan.
The brave mujahedin won this battle and put fear in the hearts of the british crusaders.
Before this attack we warned the government of the UK about this attack.
We also warn all other crusade countries like Italy, Denmark and Spain.

This is not an attack on one nation - it's an attack on all nations and civilised people everywhere," he said.

So I guess everyone that say bush is an idiot is now putting their tales between their legs. Now to everyone that thought we where just looking for a fight... Now you all realize what we are going through. If we allow all these people to keep this crap up NO NATION is safe! And thats why bush is doing what needs to be done.

Is that so? So how did all of these start, well simply with USA taking the lead starting to interfere with various middle east countries. They might have problems, but that doesn't mean they want people from outside to start interfering with their own business. And as a bonus those countries just happen to be the prime oil producers....

[tibbar]

perhaps the UK government carried out today's attack to gain support for future military plans against terrorist harboring countries...say iran?

not enough people were killed today for a serious terrorist attack on commuter trains and buses.

the bombs could not have been very large or powerful.

true....but would a government do such a bloodshed? i mean 33 UK inhabitants, i dont think they would do that.

governments have been doing this sort of thing since the roman times. The desired effect is a sort of rallying cry which allows the country to "be steadfast in the face of terrorism" most likely to allow participation by British forces in Iran (I believe some special forces are already at work there unofficially).
The low death toll I believe is because anything of a 9-11 scale would prompt all sorts of enquiries not to mention the resources involved.
The fact that "Al-Qaida" have claimed responsibilty is pretty much an admission of guilt from the US/UK intelligence services in my book as most free thinkers know that they are mostly one and the same thing.

[andi1983]

and a new reason for g.w.bush to start a war -.-

maybe terrorist are in iran this time or another country bush dont like ?

Peice of crap terrorists.

I totally cant understand why they feel the need to kill innocent people. THis is just straight out murder. And they say they do it for allah or islam or what ever. No god would ever condone something like this.

They are quite possibly the most vile people on this planet. Seems that someone needs to do something about these Al-Qaida groups

I believe they can't understand why Europeans occupy their country and in the process by 'mistake' kill tens- or even hundreds of thousands of their people.

I just thought of something else. Remember in those medieval movies where a king leads an army to fight another army. Before a battle begins the king would chant some encouraging words, then he would normally fall back and let those suckers die and you wonder why they fight for such an idiot. I can't stop to draw a parallell here to what some of the nation's leaders are doing.

Some people kill in name of god, others in name of safety...
I blame terrorists as I blame wars.
We don�t know what really happened in Irak but the thing we do know is when countries like Liberia or Zaire needed the Americans, Frenchs British or whoever, everyone left the country and let them in thei own shit. So why being so selective when you are suppose to save the people and protect the innocent people from the wars, starving and terrorists.
I�m Spanish and we also have people who got killed in name of Allah as as a revenge due to what happened in Irak.
But I guess you all know that and nothing has changed so far except for all those families and friends who lost someone that they loved.
The thing that we have to do is trying to communicate a bit better and having more women in charge of a country.
Holland (Beatrix) has no trouble with nobody, would it be because women communicate better then men?
:huh:

God bless the people who have died in this tragic event.

It's time for civilized nations to come together and combat 'this' enemy.

To kill in the name of God is wrong ... these people 'Terrorists' need to be stopped.

"Al-Qaida"/Terrorists .. what ever you call them are sick minded , and pathetic. :(

Alot of people oppose Bush .. well at least he has the balls to stand up to these SOB'S.

First of i give my condolences to the victims of the attacks and their relatives/friends.

That is obviously not al-qaeda, its another Israeli Mossad false flag operation. Even the editor at MSNBC, admitted that it coudnt' have been al-qaeda. In the written post on the website, theres mistakes in citing a verse in the quran, theres NO way in hell a person killing in the name of their holy book will make a mistake reciting it, this is obvioulsy done in order to get peoples eyes off the downing street memo and blair getting out of Iraq. Also to start hate towards the muslims that live in Britain.

Also The Israel Embassy in London was forewarned of the attacks, this guy Netanyahu was suppose to do a speech right ontop of the place were the explosions happened. Instead he was forewarned to stay in his hotel room.

This is the MSNBC analaysis

Even the name is f'ing ridicuosly fake.
�The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe� . LOL, i think George lucas can come up with a better name. This is another pathetic attempt to frame muslims, When will it stop? I aint muslim, but this is going out of hand.

This is not helping bush, and his war agenda at all. Staging terror attacks like nero did and hitler in the end proves useless when the people find out.
Muslim terrorist groups do not benefit at all from this, specially when european countries are helping Iran keep its nuclear reactors. I'm surprised they didnt blame it on Iran, i'd expect that from these warmongers.

[mmkhan]

First of all my heartfelt condolences to people affected by this incident

@ssj4conejo: I completely agree with u, this is another bad plot against muslims especially living in UK. Islam does not allow killing innocent people (irrespective of their religion) in the name of GOD. Now what i think, IRAN is on there target list especially after the the selection of their new president.
