Terrorist attack on London
An al-Qaeda affiliated group have apparently claimed responsibility for a co-ordinated series of four or more explosions this morning in London. It still isn’t clear how many people have been killed and injured.
BBC online coverage has so far been poor with many broken links to audio and video feed, but there is a surprisingly detailed page on Wikipedia, also some information on the Londonist.
UPDATE 17.00
Some figures are now being reported for dead and injuted. This will be the worst terrorist attack in British history, though (I hope) not as bad as Madrid in 2004.
Of the various ooficial statements that have been made around the world that of Bertrand Delanoë, the Mayor of Paris, caught my attention. He said, “Today, we’re all Londoners”.
