Terrorists attack in London news?
 

Hope all down in London right now are safe.

Looks like 6 bobms went off throughout the underground and they have confirmed that it was a terrorist attack. Can anyone else confirm this Im about to go board a train to Kings Cross and am a bit concerned :(

Terrorists suck my toe jam.

Yep pretty bad and it wasn't just the Underground, it was also other locations around London. My condolences go out to those killed and to the familes and loved ones as well..:(

I think your train is likely to have been cancelled Geek.

Yeah and there are requests that people don't travel accross London. As far as I know public transport has been stopped in London.

There was an explosio at kings cross, i can't get on any trains or buses, all have been stopped, traffic is crazy

Trying to find info on the news, what exactly is going on? (cloud over my house and my sat feed is down :( ).

All public transport has been suspended, and people are being advised not to enter London until it's absolutely necessary.

Couple of links for you, Brad

I just saw a report on it on TV, they're saying so far 10 people have been killed.

This is terrible. =/

Yea :( I woke up this morning and saw chats all over that place. Hope everyone over there is safe right now. (Found out specifically through Danny in #vBorg)

I lived in London until November of last year, and I'm currently talking on msn to a couple of friends who are still there - everyone has been knocked sick by this.

England has spent many years dealing with terrorism when the IRA were still on their reign of terror, but at least (and this doesn't make what they did right by any means) when they intended on blowing things up, they would issue a warning of a bomb beforehand AND admit responsibility after it.

One of the worst things about this is not knowing for sure why it's happened or who has done it. We can theorise and assume it's AQ or its numerous variations to our heart's content, but until someone actually comes out and admits responsibility..... well, I'm sure you know what I mean.

I personally don't think this is the whole of it - I even wonder if it's a diversion to take our attention away from something bigger.

It's good to see that London were prepared for it though, I can see that the authorities acted quickly and because of this, many more people might be saved.

I think it becomes secondnature when you've lived with as many terrorist attacks as this country has seen over the years. Sad to say, mind you.

What amazes me is how anyone survived the bus bombing, it was ripped apart.

The BBC says they've discovered an Islamic website taking responsiblity for the attacks

i got a bunch of friends and family over London and thruout the UK, but i only got one thing to say.


Sorry m8s

There's no mobiles, no transport or anything in London at all atm...

One of my Mum's friends is in London today, and we have heard no news from her at all - We don't know if she's alive or dead, safe or hurt or what... :(

My cousin was meant to be going to london today as well - He took the train from Wellingborough to Kings Cross, but luckily he stopped in Luton at about 8:30 to collect some things from his work - On his way back to the station he was told about the explosions, so now he is back at work watching the news... He would have almost certainly been involved in the explosion area had he not forgotten some things he needed, and it's likely that the very people he may have been sitting next to on the train this morning were...

Alot of my close family lives in London, and we have heard nothing from any of them :(

I'm quite worried :(

Chris

You get what you give? What's that supposed to mean?

Sorry to hear you haven't had any news, hellsatan. I'm sure they're all fine and just haven't been able to get in touch due to the phone networks.

I hope all of your family is safe and sound hellsatan.

The foriegn affair department lines here are congested here with people worried about their loved ones in London. I just hope it works out okay for all of them.

I'm semi-worried. My felow adminstrator who helps me lives near London, but not in it. He could have one into town though. :(. Hope he is okay.


Prayers go out to those hurt.

Thanks for your support guys :)

Still no news, but we're hoping that "no news is good news" as they say :)

Chris

I have a few friends in London now, I hope they're all okay. And I hope everyone who has family/friends there are safe too. :(

30 estimated fatalities now

I have a feeling that the UK will hit this head on, and turn many of the fence sitters from forgiving the enemy. This horrible incident will strengthen ties between allies and lines would be drawn in the sand. As many have said before and will say again, “We got your back.”

Freedom !!

37 people have died in the explosions (4 in total, 3 on the underground, 1 bus).

It hurt when 9 11 happened but when its close to home it hits home harder.

R.I.P the people who have passed due to todays attack, and my hearts with their familys.

London needs to get serious on this, they knew about flaws on the underground security, which had been revealed many times in the past by papers such as The Sun.

Especially with september 11th comming up soon, and of course us hosting olympics.

My prayers and thoughts are will all who have friends and faimly going thew any part of this. My own best friend is a Brit. I got up and called across the pond the moment I heard about it. Had to know she was safe.

Tell that to the mothers that lost their children today. I am sure they will totally understand.

All Americans should stand with Britain in this time. We have no closer world ally. An attack on Britain is an attack on the USA. My condolences to anyone hurt or mortally wounded in the attack by the cowardly Al-Qaeda.

The husband of a collegue of mine was in one of the buses and is now in hospital :(

Another college of mine was at a london hospital and saw several bodies being brought in. :(

Now BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk) is saying that 38 people have died and 700 people are injured. I hope they quickly find the bastards who did this!

ha good luck with finding them.

Never going to happen when countries refuse to work with each other like they have in the past.

Damn shame.

Well I would hope Americans would. That is a given. When is the last time you seen America turn its back on a ally....

first of all deepest condolecences to people who lost thier loved ones or were injured on the attacks..

now to The Geek: Last time i checked Britain was fighting a war, an illegitimate war..so this attack can be just a counter-attack from there...so i guess you can tell the mothers in iraq...

It is sad that situations like these happen but always remember there is always a cause and an effect...

Regardless of your views on Iraq etc., putting bombs on trains and buses in rush hour traffic to kill innocent civilians cannot be condoned and should be condemned.

Oh yea like we were fighting a war when we woke up on 9/11 and saw 3000 people lose their lives.

Oh and I thought you guys had come to the conclusion that Al Quida and Iraq had nothing to do with each other so why would they care about a war that, by what you say, means nothing to them because they are not associated with them.

Don't bring politics into this crap alright?

They can take their cause and effect and shove it up their ass. This is not an illegitimate war, THAT IS YOUR OPINION.

Afghanastan would be the Country they would be associated with and if you tell me that was illigitimate I am going to go off.

My deepest sympathy to all the families who have losses or injured people among them.

@all
We can understand that this act is causing a lot of emotions among people. Please restrict this thread to ventilating those emotions.

What we will not allow is that this thread is turned into a political discussion, and from now on all posts with political remarks will be removed. We hope that all can have understanding for this.

I have to sadly agree with A.Ah that this is definitely something that has been spurred by Britain's involvement in Iraq, though I don't believe that anyone can say that this is a justified way to counter-attack.

Also, before there is talk of retalliation, A.Ah does bring up a good point that the number of civilian casualties in Iraq has not been reported properly.

STILL, I think it's completely inappropriate to imply in any way that these innocent civilians deserved to die because their countries are embroiled in something which is beyond civilian control.

Again, I express my deepest condolences to everyone in London whether they've had families directly or indirectly affected.

Yeah read again guys...then go attackin me...

AND READ THIS:

If your logic has failed you then..please return after few days...

omg..first of all read my first line..then go attackin me..in NO FREAKIN WAY ARE THE ATTACKS JUSTIFIED..BUT THEY ARE UNDERSTANDABLE..and if you don't get that..take your head out of the propoganda...

How many of you complain like this when things like this happen around the world EVERY FREAKIN second...

honestly..


Now to those stating dont' bring politics..what else is there?

Iraq was an example...nothing else...

And im sure using small radioactive material within ammunition is? :ermm:

Again deepest condolences to those who lost their loved ones..and i hope that everyone's family and friends arrived home safely

I will not reply again here as for some people you like to read between lines and ovbioulsy your only source is BBC or CNN or any other widespread source..try accumulating all your sources (from different sides) before reaching a conclusion..

We do not even know who has done these attacks..

**Cough**

ye its horryfying this,my girlfrend came from london to sheffield on thrusday the day it happend,and she was guna get on 1 of the trains that blew up,i told her to get bus to luton n then train
thank god

The same group pf Al Queda has claimed responsibility for the bombings in Egypt. Egypt did not support the Iraq war. And the US was at war with no one on 9/11 or the first time the World Trade Center was bombed.

Something everyone needs to remember is that Al Queda isn't a part of any government, but countries that allow them to grow can do us all great harm. Especially the ones that have enough money and no evidence on how they spend it. The people living in fear and poverty while billions are being spent on the unknown. "Oil for Food" being abused should send a chill down everyone's spine. Where else was that money going in a place harboring those that want to do us all harm?

My husband served in Iraq along side some of the British troops. He was greatly pained at the loss of a few of the British soldiers who had become close friends of his while he was there. Finding the leaders and financers of this type of evil is the only way to fight back and it's hard to do one at a time in a huge world, but I for one am very thankful for the support of the British people to the Americans and they have mine. I pray none of us have to see the kind of horrors we have seen again.

Yup ... hopefully there are fine hellsatan ... keep the londoners in my prayer list ... God Bless them!

Marcus.

Yup .. u need to weed out the roots of the Evil ideology.

i am in egypt now and as people said this terrors in egypt is internal terrorism against egypt gov because of people in sena not in good life and they are insulted by egypt gov. :ermm:
