Update [2005-7-7 7:12:5 by Plutonium Page]: Edited slightly. I believe this is a big enough story that it belongs on the front page. BBC News is calling it a "series of coordinated terrorist attacks". Newscasters report that Arab sources think al Qaeda is responsible.
Here's the big story:
Multiple explosions rock London
A bus was ripped apart in an explosion in central London today and several blasts rocked the Tube network leaving dozens of people injured.
The Tube blasts at the height of the rush hour on Thursday were initially blamed on a power surge.
But amid the chaos eyewitnesses reported that a packed double decker bus in the Russell Square area had been severely damaged in a blast.
Union officials blamed the Tube blasts on a series of bombs, and Scotland Yard confirmed the bus explosion and said it was dealing with "multiple explosions" in London.
Ok, have at it. Post news updates here.
Anyone in the UK? I'm currently in Amsterdam, which is why I'm awake.
Update [2005-7-7 6:37:39 by Plutonium Page]: The most recent BBC News website update is here. Scroll down for a map of the explosion locations. There is great confusion, and no confirmation about whether this was a terrorist attack or not.
Update [2005-7-7 6:56:59 by Plutonium Page]: Scrolling text on the BBC News website says that at least one site shows evidence of use of explosives.
Update [2005-7-7 7:5:2 by Plutonium Page]: Tony Blair is on TV now. He says "a series of terrorist attacks", and will be leaving the G8 meeting in Gleneagles today. He seems quite shaken (understandably).
Update [2005-7-7 8:47:25 by Plutonium Page]: Kossack GerryInLondon just posted a diary about "Getting to work in London today" in London. Personal experiences are way more interesting - and important - than news spin at this point (IMHO).
