Updated: Explosions in London

[Grey M@a]

Is it all in one location or spread round the busiest parts of London?

[DaBeeeenster]

All over

[Grey M@a]

Anything on the news who they think is behind it? I ain't got the news here so I am waiting for the hourly updates on the radio. Like others have said its a bit dodgy the day after the G8 commitee started and the olympic bid started. Especially as its London I would say its linked to the olympic bid :/

Second explosion in Tavistock square. No report as to what has caused it.

All seems to have kicked off early too.. 8.50am... busiest time in london, all a bit coincidental really.

Police are opening up closed roads to move traffic out of city centre.

Police have confirmed a bomb is the main suspect in the bus explosion in Tavistock Place, near Russel Square.

Theres going to be panic from people trying to evacuate buildings but how are they going to get out most of inner city london RELIES on public transport.

[YorkieBen]

more likely to coincide with the G8 than the olympics imo

Hope people are okay

[Dougal]

Why hit London tho?

G8 is in Scotland.

[Nick]

News Stations are advising people to get inside but stay away from commercial businesses.

reduced police presence, all focus is in scotland. Met & other forces have sent bodies north of the border & attention has been focussd in that diection.
My lil bro works in Liverpool St, recons it looks like WW3 all over.

synchronous explosions/disasters... reeks of organised activity tbh. what are the chances of such things happening so close together ? I wonder if they're diversions for greater problems else where...attack on G8? i doubt that with all the security around there, perhaps a warning shot.
disgruntled frenchies? bit harsh isn't it?!

[Nick]

Multiple casualties and fatalities reported from London Underground. No further info at the moment.

[ikonia]

police are doing a controlled explosion.

Sound like they have found another bomb

If this is anything to do with the Olympics I reckon it would be Eta, the basque seperatist group from spain because they were trying to blow up the stadiums in Madrid.
