London Attack

Terrorists have hit London hard. Several explosions wracked multiple subway trains and at least one double decker bus at rush hour.

1000+ casualties reported. Dear God.

Londoners seem to be handling this exceedingly well, what I can see on the news shows people remaining quite calm.

No word on who did this. AlQuaeda is certainly most likely, but Anti-G8 nutters, the IRA, Hammas, or (really unlikely) French Nationalist spoilers are all possible.

Good news: I just heard from a friend over there, she's OK. :)

Sincerest condolances to the UK.

I'm off to school: back later.


UPDATE:

Both friends in the UK,JJ and Allan, are OK, although Allan had a close call.
Lots of informative links at Instapundit
Still no firm word on who did this. It has the earmarks of an AlQuaeda op. though.
