Terrorist Bombs in London

Its terrible that this had to occur during the G8, but that is certainly the most effective way for the ones responsible to achieve attention. al-Qaeda is claiming responsibility for the attack currently.

The stock markets all over the world are feeling the effects of things, as expected. Primarily the travel & tourism industries. The pound is down and people are buying gold and swiss francs.

Sympathies to all the brits out there affected by this.

Oh I get it. Sorry to ruin your day.

well I am living in England right now and 9-11 was certainly a more drastic day, so I am sort of de-sensitized to this right now.

No. its certainly no 9-11. An eye opener though!

They timed the charges so that the bombs in the underground would go off first, and then a little later, when people would be riding on buses instead, the bombs on the buses would go off.

The ski shop I run is right next to a station, and there have been a load of trains cancelled, and police around, and we're a good 35 miles away from London.

Yeah my friend was on the bus that got blown up or the one before it, but got off and got on another one before it was actually blown up at travistock, pretty lucky

What are the motives? Opinions? G8? Olympics? Are people starting to get de-sensitized to this stuff?

Al-Qaeda are claiming they attacked because of GBs involvement in Iraq.

I think its terrible that people are saying that they are decencitized and dont care. its like saying that since you saw 5 people get killed you dont care when 2 people get shot in the head in front of you.

If it takes something bigger than 9/11 to get you guys interested in something the Terrorists are going to know and make something bigger than 9/11 and although I am interested to know what could be bigger than 9/11 I really really want to stay curious for the rest of my life

If you were touched by an angel call the police.

reuters states that there are no confirmed amount of deaths but that the toll has reached up to 45 (ive been glued to the BBC all day) and there are at least over 90 wounded. they havent confirmed that the al qaida was involved because in all honesty they dont know. but it most assuredly was not the IRA and most probably was indeed al qaida. the reason for the bombings was because of the G8 occuring in scotland today. .. or so tony blair believes. finally, the focus of the bombings for the terrorists was not to necessarily kill loads of people but to cause the city to shut down and really scare the piss out of everyone. which they obviously accomplished sadly enough.

Blasts cause London carnage, Blair breaks off summit


Tavistock
By Trevor Datson and Mike Collett-White

LONDON (Reuters) - Four blasts ripped through London during rush hour on Thursday morning, killing at least 45 people and disrupting a summit of Group of Eight leaders in Scotland in attacks Prime Minister Tony Blair called "barbaric".

Home Secretary Charles Clarke called the explosions "terrorist attacks".

Witnesses saw the top ripped off a double-decker bus near Russell Square close to King's Cross station, and three more apparently coordinated explosions caused carnage on packed tube trains as Londoners made their way to work.

Security sources told Reuters there were fatalities at all four bomb sites, and Sky Television said at least 45 people had been killed. A further 150 were seriously wounded, and hospital staff said some were unlikely to survive.

"I was on the bus," said one dazed passenger. "I looked round and the seats behind me were gone."

"You could see bodies on the road outside," said another eyewitness, Peter Gordon. "There was smoke everywhere. It was carnage."

U.S. President George W. Bush, speaking at the G8 summit, told reporters that "the war on terror goes on."

"We will not yield to these terrorists, we will find them, we will bring them to justice," he said.

A previously unknown group, "Secret Group of al Qaeda's Jihad in Europe", claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Police have so far declined to give a death toll or comment on suggestions that suicide bombers were involved.

Financial markets tumbled as the scale of the attacks became clear and Blair told reporters he would return to London from the G8 summit to oversee the emergency. He planned to return to the talks in Gleneagles later in the day.

The attacks recalled the 2004 train bombings in Madrid blamed on al Qaeda and left Londoners in shock. The Islamic Human Rights Commission warned London Muslims to stay at home to avoid any violence aimed at them.

The attacks came a day after a jubilant London was awarded the 2012 Olympic Games.

"I'm deeply saddened that this should happen at the heart of an Olympic city. Unfortunately there is no safe haven. No one can say their city is safe," said International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge in Singapore.

Italy's interior minister said all Europe was on alert.

Britain has been key ally of the United States in its war in Iraq, where al Qaeda is waging a bloody insurgency.

DEAD AND WOUNDED

Police said two people were killed at Aldgate East underground station in the financial centre of the city, with a further 90 people wounded. Around 100 wounded people were taken to Royal London Hospital, 10 of them in critical condition.

Police chief Ian Blair said there were indications of explosives at the blast sites.

"We are concerned that this is a co-ordinated attack," he told Sky television.

London Mayor Ken Livingstone, speaking in Singapore, said suicide bombers may have been involved.

"I wish to speak to you directly -- to those who came to London today to take lives," he said. "I know that you personally do not fear to give your own life in exchange for taking others, which is why you are so dangerous."

People were seen streaming out of one underground station covered with blood and soot. Passengers were evacuated from stations across the capital, many in shock and with their clothes ripped to shreds, witnesses said.

The city's streets rapidly emptied and financial markets plummeted as it became increasingly apparent that the blasts were an attack, and not a power surge on the underground train system as had first been reported.

Security experts said the blasts bore all the hallmarks of al Qaeda.

"If what we are looking at is a simultaneous bombing, and it does look like that, it would very certainly fit the classic al Qaeda methodology which centres precisely on that: multi-seated hits on transport and infrastructural targets," said Shane Brighton, intelligence expert at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence.

On the currency market, the safe-haven Swiss franc hit a six-week high against sterling and rose more than 1 percent against the dollar following the explosions.

"The market is showing a textbook reaction, buying safe-haven currencies like the Swiss franc and euro and away from the dollar," said Marios Maratheftis, currency strategist at Standard Chartered.

Oil prices initially fell three percent before recovering and the FTSE stock exchange lost two percent.

Actually, the first motive that came to mind when I heard this from my mom this mornign wasn't G8, but rather the Olympics...

I mean, wouldn't al Qaida just love to bring a city/country down like that, just hours after they've been awarded the Olympic games? It's almost like a big "fuck you" to the entire world, saying that they can do anything, any time, anywhere, and they picked London because the city's spirits were so high at that point. I thought that if Madrid or Paris had gotten the games, the bombings would have been there instead.

But that's probably not right, the G8 conference is probably the real motivation for this shit. Good luck Londoners.

yeah i thought that too this morning.... about the olympic award that is. but the G8 conference was indeed, i believe, the motive behind the terrorist attacks.

and also, england is not humble and passive. if you recall, england is involved with the US in the invasion of iraq plus they are a world power which makes them a nice target for european al qaida groups.

T'as pas d'amis. C'est con pour toi.

yea, but think about this. if the motive had to d owith the olympic games, they would have really had t oget heir shit together quick to do this. it seems this was a little more planned out than a few hours before.

Take me to your special place Close your eyes, show me your face.....I'm gonna piss on it

thats not what I meant by de-sensitized I meant it's a terrible event, but jjust because of 9/11 it doesn't seem as catastrophic, I don't like people getting killed, it's just a different experience

exactly, there is no way they could've orcastrated these attacks this weel given a day to plan. Unless they decided before hand to attack whereever won and then had atacks planed an ready at all places. however, it's a hell of a lot more likely that it was because of the G8 conference happening in scotland.

i think it was al queda. most lickly because the g8 meeting. i dont think its because the olympics because they would not have enough time to plan.

let our prayers be with the people of london, lets hope for what the world needs to stop these attacks...

the world needs to watch those of the Muslim faith, fuck the concept of racial profiling being unacceptable. Its what we need in these times.

Yah, this is ridiclous. As said earlier the stock market is reeling and the British Pound is dropping. Bush was told around 40 dead but the exact number now is 33.

The timing with G8 is the most crucial part, right when the 8 most influential countries meet to discuss plans for the future, a European Al Queda group pushes for an out of Arfhanistan and Iraq.

For the people who make jokes or think its nothing serious, please stop talking. I'm no conservatie or liberal, and have a pretty balanced view, but do not support this war. I only support the fact we are too invested in it to leave with a failure., as well as the troops.

I'm on vacation right now in the really beautiful house in NC right ojn the beach with family and friends and it sucks to know this is going on outside the little beach world I'm in now. A friend of ours here is a private contractor in Iraq and goes back the 12th. IT just brings the problems closer to home, just keep him in your thoughts.

well i think terrorism just makes a country feel suddenly very vulnerable which is in itself fucking scarey. these bombings here on the tubes are reminiscent of 911 tho on a smaller scale, its still a bit scarey.

American is the most hated country on our planet. Plain and simple, may it be our power, money, standards of living, world agenda, our past and present conflicts outside of our county, people hate us one way or another. That is why i could understand america being attacked, when on top of that you add brain washed "terrorists" that are told to attack based on there trust in religion. On another note I have utmost sympathy for the people of Britian.

you sir, are a fucking idiot. PLain and simple. It is not the faith, it's extremists. Just as extreme christians and jews are dangerous. Before 9/11, what was the most deadly terrorist attack on American soil? That's right, the Oklahoma City bombing. Remeber who did that? a couple of white americans (not sure on faith, but not muslims, I'm sure of that).

It's people like you that make me want to shoot myself rather than dealing with the overwhelming ignorance that surrounds me.

^You cant just sit there and try to say that being muslim has nothing to do with it. The Oklahoma City bombing was just some Wack Job that wanted to kill people, the people that are doing this believe that God, Allah or whatever will give them rewards when they die. Which is pretty messed up and wrong.






SGB

Get a fucking clue, man. That's all I have to say to you.

Compassion and empathy for all those in England. I'd also like to note the observed excellence of the emergency response crews in London.

Also, stop comparing this to 9/11. The severity of the attack really has nothing to do with the incident. Whenever a world power like England, France, US, Germany, etc. is attacked it is a big fucking deal.

I'm glad we're in Iraq, killing all the terrorists where they live. Oh wait, you mean they live in OUR countries?

Yup, 95% of the extremist are towel heads. From Iraq too right? Maybe a couple in Afghanistan. Absolutly none from our close ally Saudri Arabia. Go Bush!

jesus man, get a fucking clue. Muslims as a whole are not a bad religion. how do i know? because I know some muslims. What I'm saying is that YES, there are muslims who are terrorists, absolutly. But the HUGE majority of muslims are NOT terrorists. So is it fair to punish the 99% of muslims who are not terrorists? Fuck no.

And yes, there are other dangerous extremist groups from other religions in the world...the KKK for instance. not as dangerous anymore, but there have been people killed by them recently. How about the 'fag hating' groups who have killed people? are these 'extremist' groups not as bad simply because they share a religion with the majority of America? Sure, they don't blow stuff up, but they do damage just as well.

To quote spearhead. "They say they bomb terrorists wherever they be found, so why aren't they bombing Tim McVeigh's hometown?"

Also, not to sympathize with the terrorists, but why do they hate us so much? Not simply because our religions differ. I'd be willing to bet the religion difference plays very little role in their attacks (especially since London does have a large Muslim population).

What i cant believe is how stupid these terrorists are, one of the reasons for them being terrorists is that they think it is unfair about the poverty divide, so they go and distrupt the G8 summit where they are trying to tackle poverty. idiots

KingShit... it's not religion. seriously, it's not. It probably has to do with a combination of our government stabbing the middle east in the back numerous times (giving them money in the 80's to help 'defend' against communist russia, then attacking and punishing them for having the very tools we gave them), them not wanting us to force their countries to change, and them hating our government. All this "they hate freedom" bullshit our government spews into the media makes me sick. That's exactly what they are fighting for is freedom. Freedom from the US and western governments. I'm not saying they are right in the way they go about it by any means (killing innocent people is never right). However, their motives may not be as sickening as you think. They are humans too, and I don't think they'd simply go out and kill us for fun.
