Hopefully Nothing! Tube incidents in London

[Marts]

Hope it turns out to be nothing, but three tube stations have just been evacuated and there is a reported incident on a bus.

BBC news alert

Lots of sirens again.

a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach again.

I hope so too, but the reports coming through on BBC live feed are saying its a 'serious incident'

Tony Blair is due to give a statement at 3.15pm

Yes, but this time some of the guys that did it survived, not good news for them, but good news for us.

When you have suspects or a lead then it is a lot easier tracking down the person that is co-ordinating these attacks and god help whoever it is when they get them

 

[Marts]

And now armed police officers have just surrounded someone outside downing street and evacuated Whitehall. It's all go in London today

 

[Ahjno]

On the telly:
- 4 Explosions (3 tubes, 1 bus)
- 5 Tube lines suspended
- arrest made near Whitehall
- dito near Downingstreet
- Police searched University College Hospital
- Police officers in NBC suits - fortunately no toxics measured
- Explosions probably caused by solely detonators, police investigates.
- 1 Wounded, no fatalities

When I heard the news on the radio I had to think at "London calling" song - by The Clash

Best news though those *SWEAR WORD HAS BEEN REMOVED* failed
