United Kingdom and Gibraltar (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland)

The morning of July 7, 2005, explosions occurred at three Underground train stations and on a bus in Central London. The explosions appear to be the result of a terrorist attack.

UK officials expect transportation services on most Underground lines will be returning to normal during the course of July 8, with some disruptions. Information on disruptions to London transportation services can be found at www.tfl.gov.uk. Mobile phone systems suffered some disruptions in service but are returning to full operation.

Public services outside of Central London are available. Airports remain open and are handling normally scheduled flights. The National Rail Services are operating with some disruption. For train information, visit www.nationalrail.co.uk. Tourist sites are open to the public.

The U.S. Embassy temporarily suspended public access on July 7, although emergency services remain available. It will be open for all public services on July 8.

The public should refer to media news outlets for the most current information. For inquiries about the welfare and whereabouts of American citizens who are believed to have been in the vicinity of the explosions, please contact the U.S. Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 in the U.S., and for callers outside the U.S. and Canada by calling a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.

ISLAM-ONLINE.net: "ANOTHER CLAIM OF LONDON BLASTS BY AL-QAEDA" (July 9, 2005)

ADNKI.com: Dubai - "TERRORISM: "ABU HAFS BRIGADES CALL SLEEPING EUROPEAN CELLS TO ACTION" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Abu Hafs al-Misri Brigades have called their 'sleeping' European cells to action with a message published on some of the most important Islamist internet forums saying: "We ask all waiting mujahideen, wherever they are, to carry out the planned attack." The message follows months of silence from the group which claimed responsibility for the Madrid train bombings on March 11 last year and threatened Italy last summer. This time, part of the message is addressed directly to the European cells. The first part of the 'Message to the mujahideen in Europe', however, is directed at the Iraqi groups and reads: "We of the Abu Hafs al-Misri Brigades call on all our cells in Iraq to close ranks and start the bloody war against the enemies of Islam. We send out a message to America and its allies, wherever they are, to state that we will not let the sacrilege of the Koran pass unnoticed and there all be a reply in the future."") (May 30, 2005)

-- The fatal flaw of Britain's and Europe's establishment today is not just its shameless worship at the altar of statism; rather, it is its failure to defend the region's historic, Christian-nurtured culture (the West) against Islamic-nurtured culture (the East). By liberally and uncritically opening its borders to millions of fanatical immigrant religionists, all Europe (including the insular Brits) flirts with actual cultural suicide.

Islamic reformist hosts website used by group to claim responsibility

I have maintained for quite some time that there is no separation within the Islamic community worldwide between "moderates" and "radicals." One of the most telling indications that Muslim condemnations of this or that terrorist act may not be sincere is that mosque leaders in Western countries have made no concerted effort to bar from their premises those who are sympathetic to or even active in the violent jihad. This is another example: al-Fagih has been known as a "reformist," but now he turns out to be hosting this jihad site and may have other terrorist ties. "British Muslims denounce strike as London man linked to attack: Islamic reformist hosts website used by group to claim responsibility," from the Ottawa Citizen, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

LONDON - As British Muslim leaders intensified their condemnations of the terror strikes against the city, a London Islamic reformist was identified yesterday as the operator of the website al-Qaeda sympathizers used to claim responsibility for the carnage.
The Evening Standard newspaper says London-based Saudi dissident Saad Al-Fagih, an Iraqi-born doctor and founder of the Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia, runs the Al-Qal'ah Internet site used by a group calling itself the Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe to claim responsibility for Thursday's attacks.

Authorities have yet to verify the claim by the previously unknown group and Mr. Al-Fagih, 48, has denied involvement.

But the newspaper said Mr. Al-Fagih has previously been linked to terrorism by U.S. officials.

In December, his assets, including his comfortable suburban home, were frozen by the Bank of England after U.S. Treasury officials accused his website of being routinely used to transmit clandestine messages to groups affiliated with al-Qaeda and to potential new terror recruits, the newspaper said.

"Police evacuate Birmingham centre"

Police used loud speakers to evacuate Birmingham's Broad Street

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police in Birmingham are evacuating large parts of the city centre amid a security alert.
West Midlands Police said people were being asked to leave the centre, particularly Broad Street, as a "precautionary measure".

No vehicles are being allowed past the inner ring road into the city centre, and there have also been reports of controlled explosions by police.

Police said it was in response to intelligence the force had received.

"It's quite tense," said BBC journalist Toby Brown.

No vehicles are being allowed to be moved, he added."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A teenager has been remanded in custody after being charged with making a hoax bomb call to the emergency services on the same day of the London attacks.
Anthony Ellitts, 19, from Wolverhampton spoke only to confirm his name at Dudley Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

Army bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion after a rucksack was found in a bin in Stourbridge.

A 28-year-old from Sutton Coldfield has also been charged with the same offence after a similar incident in Birmingham."
