Mad- I was just checking on you. Glad you're ok. You don't know me but I've seen you around and you're the one FReeper I can remember that lives over there.

Keep us posted. Prayers up for all Londoners.

Great to hear from you Ivan. Yeah, I'll just bet they are ;(

What's the local press saying? anything we haven't heard?

[MadIvan]

No, nothing you haven't heard. They just had some interviews with victims on Sky News.

These bastards really have no idea who they are fooling with.

Regards, Ivan

[America's Resolve]

Yeah, heard that the claim of responsibility mentioned Iraq and Afghanistan.

If I was Tony, I'd IMMEDIATELY double my contingent in those countries.

Let em see what happens when they play with fire.

[bonfire]

You take care, MI. Blessings to you all over there~

London News Radio

A young lady we know, who spent the last two years in London got a call from a friend.

The friend said that BBC said:

1. MI6 and 5 apparently know who is responsible and are tracking them down in the UK at this time.

2. However, that is the short term response. Apparently the Taliban and their drug farms will be the long range targets. Apparently, there is a financial tie from the Taliban to the Jihadists in London, who are responsible for these vile acts of terrorism.
