    Just watching the TV now showing that there were more bomb attacts in London Subways and again on a bus. I hope everyone there is ok. So far the TV hasn't mentioned any deaths.

    I just hope that our friends in London haven't been affected by today's events, though I can imagine their frustration at this happening to them once again - so much for our government's pledge to increase security and intelligence following the attacks a fortnight ago!

    Aparently there is some mentalist running around the tottenham court road area... we have been told not to leave the building!

    Hate this place.

    Damn, I couldn't believe when I saw the topic, I turned on the TV to CNN & saw it.

    Please let everyone be ok & for all these senseless suicide killings to stop...

    This is bad news :(. I figured that this kind of stuff would stop for a little while, but I guess I shouldn't have hoped for that much.

    there will be a WAR.

    1 injury reported so far. The explosions weren't as big as those 2 weeks ago. There are reports of people hearing 'Stop him' right before the explosion occured

    These sound more like Shockwave bombs than regular kind filled with shrapnel.

    Just read about it. Like madhatter256 said, the explosions were not that big.

    Glad everybody is ok.

    Dammit, not again...

    Let's hope everyone is okay. Subway and transport systems are now back in service, though. BBC is interviewing Blair - who is also giving a somewhat calm message.

    A man is arrested, wearing black trousers.
    Blair is calling for people to stay calm and respond calmly.

    I really hope everyone is okay.

    Apparently no one was killed, which is great news.

    Also it looks like they caught two of the bastards. Fantastic. I hope right now they've got them in a dark room and are beating information out of them as we speak. Maybe they can finally get the ball rolling and put an end to this bullshit once and for all.

    Fucking terrorists.

    So far the bomb on the bus is said to of been similar to the ones used on the previous attack. I have been at my gfs house which is about 15mins away from where the bus is and i have a friend whos apartment is on the end of the street. Last night he was escorted to his home by armed police after being arested for what i guess was walking home!

    The officer aparently told him that there was a very large quantity of explosives in the bus and it still hasnt been moved this morning!
