Explosions in London! - Page 2

A Dutch newssite mentioned Al-Quaeda, but it's so early on to say anything about that, I guess.. though they are the usual suspect, yeah.

edit: this is a quick translation of two snippets I read on that dutch newssite (nu.nl)

"Arab sources which keep close tabs on the Al-qaeda network, have told the BBC that the explosions might be the work of Osama binLaden's network.

According to an Israeli radiostation, Israel was warned on thursday a few hours before the attack by Scotland Yard to increase security and to be extra alert."

Reports coming in now state a Jihad cell of Al-Queda has claimed responsibility for the London attacks...

I think the war of terror will be front page news once again...

Al-Quaeda is believed to be responsible from what I have heard so far.
It just amazes me how they get away with all of this and nobody see them.
Keeping Londoners in my prayers.

God be with you all in Britain....we love you Pip, please be safe. I hope and pray this isn't going to be London's 9/11.

This is sickening. I hope we are all okay here, I will also keep London in my thoughts and prayers.

It is upsetting to watch the news reports, yet I can't stop watching. I'm hearing that it was 6 explosions on the underground and 1 on the bus which they are saying was a suicide bomber. Have you seen the state of the bus? The entire roof was blown off! It's like they planned the bus one knowing that the tubes would be closed and the buses fuller than usual

pure E.V.I.L. from a group that believes Allah will welcome them with 7 virgins apiece! (see? apparently sex sells in the afterlife too~too bad they wont have bodies to do the business with

)

I am glad all of the London Ledgies appear to be okay!!!!!

I just cannot believe this. What a tragedy. How can people be so cruel. If I have said it once, I have said it a 1,000 times, if you are so pissed at the world that you want to kill people like this, do us all a favor and kill yourself instead

As for OBL and Al-Q -- they need to find them instead of farting around in Iraq.

We're 40 mins away from London, by train and fine thanks..just watching the tele all day..horrendous news. Certainly puts pay to a planned trip into London, on Saturday now.....the Manga shop will have to wait!!

reebokandlace · #29 07-07-2005, 07:56 AM

I hope all our Ledgies are safe.

Stay safe, everyone! This is awful.
