Well, according to Channel 4 news, a "previously unknown group" has claimed responsibility, saying that it was acting "in the name of al Qa'eda". Although they got that from an Italian news source.

Israel warned of attacks
The warning contradicts the fact that the original explanation of a power surge went out for an hour or more. They knew it was an attack but put out a false explanation. Plus why did Netanyahu get a warning and the victims didn't?
1. Death count figures help political agendas. 2. Involving Israel would have been a big mistake.

well i hope its closer to the 2 number. usually the first reports after this kind of thing are pretty blown out of proportion. i remember when the 9-11 story broke they were reporting 9 hijacked planes and additional attacks on the empire state building and the sears tower in chicago.

20 dead, and my father who works at Aldgate said there were body parts around the tube station. It's horrific. he only missed the blast by a few minutes. I hope everyone is ok on here.
It was on my usual tube-route so v. scary. As for Olympics, I think any major public event is at risk and just thank god it wasn't at the Live 8 concert. That could have killed thousands. Compared to madrid we escaped lightly. All this for fucking Blair lap-dogging to Bush in not a "quid pro quo situation". fucker. Not even a concession on global warming.

They're trying to down play it to stop panic, i think. If it's true that a whole top deck of a bus was blown of at Russ. Sq. then it can't have been such low casualties. It hit rush hour and everything.

exactly. 7 explosions at rush hour with 2 people killed? That would be a miracle. It sounds like the blitz outside. Emergency vehicles everywhere. No one is allowed to call 999 because they're at full stretch. It must be worse than they're letting on. Poor poor people.

[UPDATE]
My dad is all fine. When I spoke to him he wasn't in london but he said he was on his way. I said "what?!" and he was like "it's ok, it's all stopped now". However, I don't reckon he'll have much luck getting there. He's crazy!
My friend who was on his way to london this morning didn't manage to get far but he was on his way to one of the stations that got hit.
so, all fine here

I don't know 20 are dead. just listening to the radio. there are so many conflicting reports and that was the latest. No idea whether any of its accurate, since there's been limited official statements. Sorry if I've misinformed.

No, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that.
I meant to say that they're not glossing over the facts of the current right-wing American administration.
They're not making anything up, either.

you might want to read up on the terror attacks perpetrated by the US and Israel against Arab countries that have brought this horrible situation about, before writing bullshit like that.
