Well it happend again ...

London has seen four small blasts and three tube stations have been evacuated but police have said they are not treating this as a major incident

Reports also say there has been a nail bomb at the station, and that emergency services personnel wearing chemical suits have gone into the station. Armed police are reported to have cordoned off and to have entered University College Hospital in central London, near to Warren Street.

Good news is... this is nothing compared to the last set of explosions... Thank God for that!... Damn terrorists.


EDIT: I thought I was dreaming... like, of the day the first set went off... Because I had just woken up and it was on the television.

yeah damn terrorist....wish the bomb exploded in their own hands!!!!

Well... it's inevitable that it's going to happen again... But I didn't think they'd do the same exact thing... There were originally reports of it just being a copycat trying to make it seem like terrorists though... Have those stories been denied by the government and that?.... I'm suprised they're still doing it in London too... I figured they'd move and go somewhere else to terrorize more of the world.

ever heard of Kashmir??

An internal memo to staff at the hospital warned them to be on the lookout for a black male, possibly of Asian origin, about 6ft 2ins tall, wearing a blue top with wires protruding from the rear of the top.

(they seem pretty sure who they're after)


Also he was either a sloppy bomb maker, or just wanted to scare people.

haha no no no! I didn't mean work for them... I'm saying that didn't you say something about the suspect having wires coming from them ... I'm saying that if you saw somebody with wires coming from the back of their shirt you'd probably stay away! ....

But! Like, Secret Service (United States) or MI5... haha they're like the same thing I think, they'd have funky comunication systems that you'd be able to recognize them by...

Nope usually MI5 'agents' or surveillance teams are usually covert.

Yeah, they are very good, the biggest slip up of the last year was that one agent left his laptop at a party...apart from that, they are great.

Well, I watched the ABC News Special Report all morning on it and am thoroughly sick of seeing breaking news now.  Anyway, to say the least, London is insecure .

I went out, not to central london, but to a funeral of someone i know, and there was another friend there who didn't go to work because of the funeral. He gets the number 26 bus everyday to work, but wouldn't have been on it at that time, but still he was quite shaken up. Then if that wasn't bad enough, there was another bomb left outside the door of the place he works at. He works for BT in london.

We didn't really think much about it at the time as we were sad enough at the funeral, but afterwards it was really scary.

I've just got back so i don't know much about it, but i hope noone here on the forums were affected by the bombs and my thoughts are with the families and the injured.

I'm meant to be going into london at the weekend to help with some polish visitors, but it might be cancelled now.

I was just above Warren Street Station when suddenly we heard something and then all people was running up from the stairs, quite scary.

Damn terrorits.

There was another threat on the tubes just this morning and the police shot him at Stockwell Station.

Man shot by armed police on Tube
A man has been shot at Stockwell Tube station by armed police officers, police confirm.

Passengers were evacuated from a Tube train on the Northern Line station in south London after the incident.

Passenger Mark Whitby told BBC News he had seen an Asian man shot five times by "plain-clothes police officers".

Services on the Victoria and Northern lines have been suspended following a request by the police, London Underground said.

Police are hunting four would-be bombers after Thursday's London blasts.

The bombers fled after detonators went off, causing small blasts, but failed to detonate the bombs themselves.

Mr Whitby, told BBC News: "I saw an Asian guy run onto the train hotly pursued by three plain-clothes police officers.

"One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him."

Passenger Briony Coetsee said: "We were on the Tube and then we suddenly heard someone say, 'Get out, get out' and then we heard gunshots."

It seems that the person shot by police at Stockwell station this morning was one of the suspects of the attempted attacks yesterday.  The police must have seen him as an immediate risk for them to shoot him in such a way, as surely he would have been of more use to them alive.

Witness Mark Whitby was on the train as he saw a big man wearing a large coat and "looking absolutely petrified" lurch through the doors.

Unconfirmed reports suggest the man was involved in Thursday's assault on the capital.

Police are believed to be under orders to shoot to kill if they believe someone is about to detonate a bomb.

Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said: "The officer or officers involved in this clearly felt this suspect was about to detonate a bomb."

So they seem VERY sure

True, but wasn't he on his way to denonate one? To be honest, if i would have shot him too if it was clear he was the bomber and he ran off to go set another... one life compared with hundreds of injured people..

---

MI5 must have had some serious intelligence though, especially to be confident to shoot him in the middle of the station

Well... hopefully it was a bad guy... If not I'm sure that the police and them will get their butts chewed out for the mistake... But! I guess I'd rather see 1 innocent person dead, then 50 innocent people, and 1 bad guy.

such blasts happen every second day here in meh country..in kashmir specially! John Anderton must be knowing.

i heard only one injured

is that true

and i also heard the terrorist was seen running away and somone tackled him but he got away is that also true

Well, one man was shot by police as he was running from them. They got him on the floor and shot him in the head.

It's some thing the police will use now with supected suicide bombers as it will shut down the nervous system immediately so they can't detonate.

More info can be found here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4706787.stm

Anyway, i'm off for the weekend, into central london as it happens. Hope nothing happens while i'm there.

What's ridiculous is the fact that the governments are so slow at adopting and implementing plans. During Bush's speech the other day, he talked of improving security for mass transit, and the very next day there were more bombings in London...shouldn't that teach the high-level politicians something?
