Wow!

James · 07-07-2005, 04:05 AM

Gosh, very sad news

. Fingers crossed the casualties are as low as possible!

aussie · 07-07-2005, 04:13 AM

Total stab in the dark, but how about an Al-Qaeda related activety for Britian's relationship with old mate Bush? Anyone?

Two people confirmed dead and at least 90 injured!

EDIT: Just heard on the news that they (British government) probably had some information that this might happen in the last few days.

I think it may well be more related to the G8 summit.

I'm not sure it's al-Qaeda - sounds sick, but there don't seem to be enough deaths compared to their previous attacks.

James90 · 07-07-2005, 05:13 AM

This will sound completely insensitive. But there's only two deaths, it's terrible but not that terrible. It's not like we live in Britain, channel 7 should keep the cricket on and give updates every so often. Not put it on for 20 mins at a time and claim it's an "update". I'm sure there's more people wanting to watch the cricket than politicians mourning about the state of their city.

Craig · 07-07-2005, 05:13 AM

If it is related to G8, wouldn't it be better to target it near where they are having it in Scotland, or London is more of a central attack, more effective location in London?

King_Ponting · 07-07-2005, 05:14 AM

the explosive devices used dont seem to be powerful enough for it to be an alqueda related attack. I agree with neil, has to be something to do with the G8 summit

If you have cable, switch it over too that.

well if its a terrorist attack, the IOC might start to think that London could be vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
