According to a french specialist of secret intelligence, there was this last months signs of activity of Islamist terrorits groups, and London was at the top of the list of the targetted cities.
A bad day. I'm still in a numb shock from when someone in the staffroom said have you heard the news ? at 10.30 .Three hours ago. It's still getting worse as more information comes in. Fuckers. There are still people trapped under Kings Cross.
I was on the fucking tube. Meeting in town in 0900, caught the train from Liverpool Street.
Very freaked out city. But this is not our 9/11. People aren't crying all over town. These fuckers won't cow us. I'll be on the tube tomorrow.
Fuck them.
Harald,
Glad to hear you are OK . Sounds like it was a close call .
I'm stuck in the office, might be stuck in London if they don't start running trains in/out again - considering I have to go from Kings Cross, one of the suspected sites, I think I might be here for a while .
Someone have taken the responsibility. It could be a those who did it, it could be a teenager in his parent basement without any relation to the attack.
I'm in Old Street, between Kings Cross and Liverpool Street, I come to work via th Thameslink overground train to Kings Cross. At 9.45 this morning as I got out into the street, there were thousands of people walking away from the station. People were just saying that the station was closed due to an explosion caused by a power surge. Usually I would get on a bus and travel the last couple of k's, but there were no busses. By the time I got to work it was obvious that it was a terrorist attack. It's now 13.40 and still I am hearing many sirens outside as the emergency services do their stuff. People are very calm, doesn't seem to be any panic, but I am not at the heart of all the commotion.

According to CNN there have been 7 subway explosions and at least 3 bus explosions.
Wait and see for more info I guess.
The IRA told that, these bombings have nothing to do with them.
Tony Blair will make a speech about this in 45 minutes from Gleneagles
We know what that usually means

Three explosions occured. No real explanations right now, but it seems more like terrorist acts than anything else.

You are right, there is many more than 3 explosions. That's really bad news, and like Anders said, we know what it means.
