London attacks?

al-jazeera the Arab news network report that al-queda have claimed resposibility. So far we have had six security incidents. The emergency services seem to be coping quite well, although London is at a standstill. casualties seem light at the moment.
 
They say that at kings cross station, casualties are severe and its mostly the subway which has taken most damage.
 
This was a terrible attack on innocent people. I hope the British people will be united in their efforts to defeat the fanatics responsible for these heinous acts. My heart goes out to the people of Britain in this tragic time.
 
Yeah let me be the first non-British European to comment on this.
It's been a barbaric act of terrorism but we weren't unfortunately caught by surprise. We knew it was a matter of when and not of if.
London is considered to be like home for thousands of European youth who go there in the summer, like I did many times.
I know London pretty well, I used to live at Finsbury Park, the area where all the major mosques and militants from al Qaeda affiliates were arrested.
This was aimed at killing as many innocents as possible.
But Blair is not anything like Zapatero: the British people are not coward.
They are brave enough to show determination and strength against the evil forces of terror.
I'm with them

Well I send all my condolences to the Brittish people.

That being said, from a millitary history standpoint I am interested to see how the Brittish people react. We know that the Americans react to an attack by fierce and decisive action, the Spanish reacted to their attack by pulling inward, I am interested to see how the English people react since this is the first big act of terrorism they've had in quite a while.
 
Good grief! Don't they have the History Channel in the Middle East? It seems they don't know very much about the British fighting spirit. God bless the Queen and England.
