33 confirmed dead in London blast. 3 buses have exploded. A terrorist group has taken responsibility for it.
Hopefully it is over.

It's still uncertain who was responsible, though.
Edit. I'm in Florida, but my family is in London. I haven't been able to contact them yet, so I'm following the news. London is still my home, in many ways.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8496293/ CAIRO, Egypt - A group calling itself “The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe” posted a claim of responsibility for Thursday’s blasts in London, saying they were in retaliation for Britain’s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Reps: 5,176 (power: 16) | | | I saw that, but there are probably going to be a lot of claims along those lines over the next few days. And I am always going to be a little suspicious of a group that calls itself “The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe”

They have been mocked incredibly for calling themselves "the SECRET organisation of al-Qaida in Europe"

Reps: 149 (power: 0) | | | mmm, my sister was on one of the trains that was attacked, but she was fine, i think most people were affected by having to walk home, in my sisters case 2 and a half hours, but she was lucky... Alot of hotels raised there prices by up to 3 times as much, thats sickening, no? But at least alot of people did pull together to make things easyer for each other, god bless M and S for giving out free blankets and clothes to keep warm.. | |
