wolfie. Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 sydney is reporting it, the whole london tube has been shut down. london just cant seem to get enough publicity as if late.. ( on a unrelated note, if this wasnt the doing of some terrorist group, its now just given terrorist groups a great idea in how its all crippled ) just be lucky its not some airborne attack, much like the japanese cult nut a few yrs ago who s people released substance on trains in peak hr.

stevethedog Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Does sound more like ETA but don't think the IRA stopped in the 80's as they done Omagh in the 90's.

JoeyM Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Don't be ridiculous, of course it's not ETA. It could be any number of middle eastern terrorist groups - some allied with Iraq, some allied with iran, or Al-qaeda. But it just doesn't seem large scale enough to be anyone serious.
