Terrorists hit London -- Bombs in Underground and a Bus - Page 13

Bithron · 07-07-2005, 12:49 PM

While I'm not from England, I wish quick recovery for those with wounds, I wish peace for the souls of the dead, I wish quick recovery for England and all of Europe from this terrible,
evil and horrible terrorist action, and finally, I wish a terrible fate for those guilty of terrorism all over the world...

Peace to you all...

Gah... how horrible. I remember riding the Kings Cross to Russell Square tube probably 100+ times. That bit stays VERY crowded. To think -- how horrible. Our thoughts are with you guys. Thanks to the London members for checking in.

Wishing wellness and safety to all who live in London.

My brother's ok, he decided not to ride the tube to work today.

Find the bastards reponsible for this, hang them high and let them burn in hell.

The Olympic Bid is nothing but a "happy" coincidence, these people being the ignorant selfish morons that they are were striking out against the G8, against freedom, debt relief, and everything that is good for the world, our world.

The driver of the bombed bus (when the top deck was blown off into a nearby office, said to be the most likely explosion perpetrated by a suicide bomber, or possibly a bomber on his way to the underground) has survived and is well enough to be giving information to the police. But at least 2 from the bus are dead.

Death toll is reported at over 38 now.

My take is that the bombers waited until all of the security attention was taken up by the G8 summit, and planned the attacks for today to capitalise on the lull.

It also has the benefit of undermining the progress of the talks.

The world's changed within the last ten years. What most people fail to realize is that even though they say "they will fail", they're actually succeeding. They know they can't win, however, if they can't, then they'll do as much damage as possible while they're here. Each time terror is used in their hands, when it becomes a weapon, countless lives change, loves are lost and freedom dwindles.

I'm very sorry to all those in London who have lost their lives and those injured. Good to know London's Ironworkers made it back safely. Please keep the updates coming.

My sympathy goes to the people of the United Kingdom.

To many variables to predict, but the lesson is clear. Terrorism is a world wide weapon, and tactic of cowards. The day will come when they meet a soldier in hell, and lastly they will have eternity to pay. For a marytr they are not, a 100 virgins will not sing, and the grace of Allah shall not be upon them.

Thou I walk into the valley of death,
I fear no evil,
I will protect the innocent,
and all Children alike,
Until my cold dead hands can no longer function.

My best wishes to all

Just an observation I made from watching the news all last night was the calmness of the people of London and the supurb actions of the emergancy services, a credit to one all. I think (red)Ken Livingstone (the Mayor) is right when he talks about the best way to show these scum that the British will not be bullied into submission is for things to get back to normal ASAP.

Once again best wishes to those back in blighty
