London explosions

If you haven't heard, there have been a series of explosions in London
this morning. The first reports were of a power surge causing
explosions on the tube. There seem to have been a number of casualties
at several stations. No reports of deaths so far.



Then reports starting coming in of an explosion on a bus. The pictures
I've seen show a double decker with the top half largely missing.
Again, no details on fatalities.



Now they are saying Al Quaeda (?) are involved. Someone has said there were 20 dead on the bus.



I'm working at home and so am monitoring BBC News TV. The internet news
is being a bit slow as everyone tries to get details. Mail me if you
are having problems getting news and feel free to add any reliable information you have.



ITV saying 20 dead



Tony Blair made a statement saying he is flying back to London, but the G8 will continue. Not sure what he can really do.



Reports say 6 blasts altogether on buses and underground. 90 casualties, 2 deaths
at Aldgate station. All public transport in London is out of action for
now.



15:30 Latest report from the police is at least 33 people confirmed
dead. There will be a lot more who will suffer from their injuries for
the rest of their lives.
