Al Quaeda apparently. Well, that's what someone emailed me but I don't know the source.

Hopes & wishes to all who have been stuck in this tragic events, and it is not just down to London, Swindon trains have been stopped & MOD sites are not letting visitors entrance to the sites.

He did sound shaken, didn't he?

Yeah, they've put up the security level and closed the gates where I work, and got everyone being extra aware for suspect packages etc.

Eastern Intelligence experts have said Al-Quida, but as with anything, it`s easy to put the blame to someone or group of people - similar to that of the IRA in the past, if a bomb went off, it was always thought of another IRA Bomb, we need to wait until the full intellegences sources have come together and gathered more evidence.

The latest news is that the G8 countries & Europe have stepped up their security on their public transportation & even New York has stepped up it`s policing of train stations too (Source Sky News/CNN)

The BBC News website now says:

"Islamist website carries message claiming responsibility for London attacks."

The rumours are al qaeda but that is such an easy response and they have never been known for their self-control - believe it or not this could have been worse. 200 people died in Madrid - this wasn't designed to kill hundreds or there would be far more deaths (3 confirmed so far)

The timing is weird, the G8 was yesterday - an attack then might have delayed the summit and stopped the London Olympics. Be grateful for small mercies I suppose.

This is all so gorram depressing

extremely dimensionally transcendental

Things will be downplayed a little, until we get more new reports and official announcements. Till then we're getting the simplified version.

Definitely.

This looks like more of a disruption attack than a killing one. Makes me think it's not Al Qaeda, but I'm probably wrong about that.
