Beerball Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 "He said a man was carrying a rucksack and the rucksack suddenly exploded. It was a minor explosion but enough to blow open the rucksack. "The man then made an exclamation as if something had gone wrong. At that point everyone rushed from the carriage." As noted, very sketchy here so far. This is from the CNN store linked in another thread. Hopefully the authorities have their hands on this guy. Stay safe Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick in* england Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 4 incidents in London. 1 (NORTH). Reports appear to indicate thaat a nailbomb or detonators have exploded at Warren Street Tube Station. Reports of shots fired. 2 (SOUTH). Reports of smoke as Oval Station is evacuated. 3 (WEST). Shepherds Bush Tube station evacuated - reports that a man has thrown a package on the tube as the doors were clsoing. 4 (EAST). Windows blown out of a bus in Hackney. No massive explosion, but the whole area evacuated an no one is approaching the bus. There is speculation that this is a series of bungled attempts... No reported injuries or fatalities at the moment. Metropolitan Police are currently NOT treating this as a 'major incident' but the situation is still unfolding.

I think this is a coordinated attempt to disrupt and it has succeeded. 386999[/snapback] Had this been a real, expert terrorist group, they'd have done a lot more than disrupt. It almost sounds like a college prank, it's so clumsy. However, keep in mind...the information that comes out in the first 24 hours is almost always screwed up. We learned that two weeks ago. We're sure not going to understand what happened today any time this morning. All will be grokked in the fullness of time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but with that attitude, the West is destined to lose. They blow us up and large segments of our respective societies run around squawking about being "sensitive" to their "culture", instead of doing what needs to be done. Namely, finding those responsible, sewing them and their family into pig carcasses, and sinking them to the bottom of the sea. Then broadcast that on Al-Jazeera. Beheading isn't nearly the worst thing that can happen to a practioner of that cult, believe me. They will always hate us... but this won't end until they fear us.
