Ok, the following is according to BBC news 24 (ON TV). I know there is a lot of shit flying about, but the BBC are based in London, and are probably more accurate than any other source at the momemnt.
A previously unknown sub-division of Al-Q have claimed responsibility in a 200 word document.
I cant remember their name, but it was something like Al-Q Liberators Of Europe. The name (whatever it was), has never been mentioned before.
There are 185 casualties so far, 8 critical, and 2 dead. Injuries ranging from light burns to lost limbs.
Now the interesting bit. In the letter, they made no mention of G8 or the Olympics. The reason the attack was made, according to the BBC and the letter, was due to Britains involvement in Iraq. The letter stated that the Islamic nations had gained revenge for our involvement.
The sub section of Al-Q also warned that Italy and Denmark face serious reprocussions for their involvement (but to be honest, I didn't know either were involved...especially Denmark.
Hope I've shed some light, but it's all just come of the BBC news channel now.
And me and Donut aren't fighting, its just a serious time for us British who are worried about family. Its all ok between us, or at least as far as I'm concerned. I just said some things that were (looking back) a bit far fetched.
Edit - According to the BBC, there were 7 explosions. I think it said 6 on the Underground, 1 on the Double Decker.
