X-Pac Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 ATTACKS KILL 45, REPORTS At least 45 people are reported to have been killed and 1,000 injured in a series of co-ordinated terror attacks on London. Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said the figures, which could rise, were from a reliable, but unofficial source. He also reported that it is understood that seven were killed in the bus blast in Tavistock Square. A previously unknown group calling itself "Secret Organisation al Qaeda in Europe" said it carried out the attacks as revenge for British "military massacres" in Iraq and Afghanistan. from sky news Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James23485 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Looking at the map, It looks like all the bombers got on trains at Kings Cross and went off heading to the other stations. Plus Tavistock Square isnt far from Kings Cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-uglen Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Would policing in London not have been less than usual with many going to Edinburgh for the G8 summit? Most of Denmark was hoovered for police, as they all went to Copenhagen for Bush's 16-hour visit. The policing there was larger than I've ever seen, on a 15-minute bus trip I saw about two dozen of police vehicles, and policemen on every 500 metres - and at that time Bush hadn't even landed in Denmark yet. So I don't like the threats against Denmark, seeing as I live in the second-largest city here :-/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoroPhil Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 This is the alert my work (HQ in London) has just put out. Scary stuff. I wouldn't live in London for all the money in the world.

Further advice about travelling home today and what may happen tomorrow will be issued later in the day. Another bulletin will be issued at 2.30pm. The major incident has caused concern and confusion across London. While it is still too soon to say exactly what has happened, we must reassure colleagues that there is no immediate threat in this area and call for continued calm. We will give regular updates giving the latest information on transport issues, casualties and advice from the police. All information given in these updates will be confirmed from an official source. Latest Situation: There are six explosion sites including one on a bus.

ADVICE from the Chief Commissioner Sir Ian Blair: Please stay where you are – do not attempt to move around London The situation is confused but is coming under control and an emergency plan is in action It is too early to speculate and there is no confirmation about what has happened Please do not call emergency services unless it is a life threatening situation A telephone number for people concerned about friends and family will be announced soon There will be a separate detailed bulletin about transport lines shortl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
