Injuries in London tube blasts!
"LONDON, England -- Several people have been injured as explosions blamed on a power surge closed down the entire London Underground network."
Whoa!...I really hope that it is because of a power surge and not somekind of terrorist attack.
Here's more on the story: CNN

There's been a bomb on a bus, and the news here states up to 4 explosions around London, this is not looking good.

Considering this is the first called "terrorist attack" in a while its not that bad. Sure people have died and may they RIP, but things could have been much worse, and i suspect there will be many more bombings all over the world in the future, so get used to it poeple...

Just so you know... Vodaphone confirmed this was due to priority being given to emergency services on their network...
Latest update is that 9 explosions are confirmed, Tony Blair is leaving the G8 confrence and returning to London. The confrence will continue without him.
(Personally i think he should stay, there isnt much more he can do from London that either someone else cant or that he cant do from Gleneagles... where as there is so much more he can do in the G8 meeting that other people cant.) |

According to the BBC... who don't report on upsubstantiated claims... it's the work of Al Quaeda |
