Attack on London?

[Orimattilanjymy]

Paris strikes back at London or al-Qaida? :unsure:

[Superted]

I doubt Paris would do it but it they could have easily done it. We'd foiled plenty of terrorist attacks before but it seems you can't stop them all.

[Orimattilanjymy]

Oh dear, news has just come in confirming that 20 people are dead

They told in TV (BBC) that only 2 people are dead :noexpress

[Rion.]

Apparently the Islamists have claimed responsiblity, but they could just be 'jumping on the bandwagon'.

[Dameon Angell]

Usually when a terrorist attack goes off, a bunch of groups who didn't do it go claim responsiblity just to get their names out there, at least, they hope it's said on the air.

This is one of the buses, if you haven't already seen it:

It was clearly Tony Blair doing it so we can go to war with France!


On a more serious note, it's shocking when things like this happen, my Dad was working in London, thankfully he went quite early today so he was already at work when the first blast happened.

Sorry if anyone here knows someone hurt/dead.

[Sarien]

As trite as this is to say, my heart goes out to all people injured in any manner from this attack.

[duel pasta]

Damn You Terrorists!!!

[Nockm]

If you never hear from me again I have died on the way going home.

:greedy:

Edit: They've dropped the congestion charge today =P Fuck knows how to get home with all trains + buses non-operational

[Jerome Scuggs]

From a cold, soulless and heartless bastard's point of view: a bomb explosion on a packed bus and the death count is only 2?

Then again, that would be in line with the old-school terrorist message: kill some people, but not enough to hurt your cause or lead to public backlash.

In any case, they DID blow up a double-decker bus, and people just don't do that. I hope this is the last of it Condolences!

Well I can only think of two groups that would do this; IRA and Al-queda.

But I'm not sure the IRA would do this, aren't things cooled down over there in recent years?

Well if it's Al-queda this could be a prelude to more bombings possibly elsewhere, I saw on CNN that in Washington, DC they are increasing security around transit systems, etc.

Sad that innocent peoples have to suffer from cowardly attacks by nut-cases.

The original confirmaiton of 20 was shortly discounted, now the death count is 12.

I never knew Nockm was a Brit.

The news seems to be calming down a bit now... I hope things are ok down there though. -_-

There was no warning before the attack, so I doubt it's the IRA
