BLAST AT CITY TUBE STATION - FOUR BOMB EXPLOSIONS AROUND LONDON

There has been an explosion at Aldgate East underground station in London, causing the closure of the entire Tube network.

There are also reports that a second incident took place at Edgware Road station in north west London.

The Aldgate East blast was caused by "some kind of power surge", according to Tube infrastructure company Metronet, which is responsible for maintaining the Metropolitan line.

A spokesman said: "We don't know the extent of the problem yet."

A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We have just sent some resources out to the scene."

British Transport Police confirmed that there are "walking wounded" and said paramedics have responded to one report of a person classed as "life at risk".

"It's chaos, with people trying to work out what has happened," said a spokesman.

"All we know at the moment is that staff reported a loud bang at 8.49am. No one is sure what caused an explosion, but it is thought it could have been a collision, a power cut, or a power cable problem."

One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from Kings Cross when there was a huge flash.

The train stopped and people were using umberellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff.

He added people were milling around Kings Cross covered in soot.

I'm late to this thread due to watching the reporting on Fox. Can some FRiendly FReeper kindly direct me to the thread where leaders of the ROP are condemning this outrageous attack? I'd like to read their comments in support of freedom and justice as well as their calling for the heads of cowardly terrorist bastards wherever they hide.

CNN reporting that the phone system is jammed becasue of people trying to contact family and friends.

Be patient and keep trying.

I'll keep my fingers crossed your family and friends are all safe.

Make sure he's not around Harrod's. Not only is it a major symbol of London, it's run by a very Westernized Arab.

[Txsleuth]

Silly, huh?

Wonder what "I went to Singapore, but couldn't get the Olympics in New York", Hillary will say...

Or Kerry---or Hagel, any of the idiots that have acted like Bush is the mad man for going after these people over where they hide and DO BUSINESS, to get there supplies?

[JediForce]

Now just imagine Iran giving these guys an atomic device to set off there. So we need to "talk" more with Iran huh ?
The best talk at this time should be with a vast array of weapons deployed against all of their nuclear facilities as quickly as possible. We cannot wait for these type of attacks to become nuclear and Iran will supply the terrorists with these weapons.

God bless those who suffered in this attack by the long bearded smelly ones from hell. And Gods' speed in the quick and devastating retaliation.

May the Force be with us all.

I just woke up

Prayers to the Brits and their families

[BigSkyFreeper]

I will add, the DUmmies and moonbats are surely not rooting for the good guys.

BTTT for post #2310.

Cnn.com reporting 40 dead, crap

[TonyInOhio]

BBC Radio has Rudy Guiliani on live at the moment...ironically, he is in London, and heard the explosions!

[sarasota]

Just read a report that said a video of the murder of the American special ops missing in Afganistan will be online.

[eyespysomething]

It's the "Old Hippie" generation that's killing us as they try to relive their "activist youth." It well may be the first time nostalgia had a body count attached.

[E Rocc]

Deporting them will not help.

They need to be eliminated

He was talking about Muslims in the US, not just terrorists. It's already our goal to eliminate the terrorists.

The more they expose themselves the less chance they'll ever gain power.

[colonialhk]

Yes, I hope they get it in the EU. Bush is right! They have been fed a line of c##p from their lefty anti American leaders about coexistence with radical Islam.

The with us or against us motto is back on center stage.

>>Hard to say - there's 4 possible culprits.

Islamonazis
IRA
Communists(anti-G8 people)
London getting the Olympics<<

Possibly, but as I see it:

Islamonazis = MOST likely as this is their MO.

IRA = Wouldn't be their usual way of doing things and the peace process is moving along nicely for them and they haven't been making noises lately.

Communists(anti-G8 people) = Would be them IF they could ever organize, train and equip, but they can't.

London getting the Olympics = Pissed off French? Not hardly. Seriously, too little notice for such a massive and coordinated attack.

ROP death-cult is the primary suspect.

Like I was, Laura was praising the Mayor of London for his remarks today... Guess she, like me, does not know his past views and comments on the War in Iraq and W.

[Knute]

No I want them safe til they get home tomorrow!

They will have firsthand "man on the street" reports and experiences that they will remember clearly the rest of their days. Fear not!

[republican2005]

Is it time to start deporting arabs yet?

[b4its2late]

Yep. Time for a modern day one....
