It's quiet because we are still sorting out what happened. www.bbc.co.uk/news is pretty reliable; I have BBC News 24, and relatives ringing so if I see anything new I'll tell you

Just to keep thsi in perspective...

In the blitz "43,000 civilians are estimated to have died during the campaign, with over 139,000 injured, and around a million houses destroyed." If London survives that, this really was a patehtic attempt on the part of the terrorists.

Wow, I had no idea the casualties were so high in WWII. Wow. My admiration for the British just increases every day. You guys are great!

I'm watching BBC and ITV and I still haven't heard those figures in an official report...

Amid all this grief and pain, let us not forget that deadly attacks like those in London today happen in Iraq EVERY SINGLE DAY. Where is the outcry like the one today, one might ask. Is a bomb attack in Iraq any less horrible than a bomb attack in London or in Madrid?

Maybe this might be a good opportunity to pray for our neighbours in Iraq as well, as they live under continous chaos and violence -- Just yesterday a double car bomb attack in Hilla killed at least 11 people and wounded 19, reports Reuters, and that is just one attack in a string of similar attacks all over the country.

Excellent point, Kalevalatar. And I do!

thank you, and hopefully more British people will come to empathise with all those living in Israel.

BBC news is saying 90 dead and 1000 injured which is coming from an unofficial BUT reliable source.

2 is still the OFFICIAL as far as I can tell........ we need to remember that just because we hear something on the news doesn't make it official

Sorry, but this is just a stupid statement. The airstrikes were committed by the entire German AIR FORCE. These attacks were likely executed by a dozen terrorists. No doubt the Londoners will get on with life, in fact, they probably already have...but not because this was a "pathetic" attack.

 

[amazed_by_grace]

Still haven't heard those figures anywhere..

well said dear, excellent post

Guys I am so sorry. I guess that terrorists just don't want to attack America I guess any other good nation on earth they want to hurt.

We can debate it elsewhere. Let's keep this for news and prayer requests!
see you on the other thread!

BBC update: still only 2 officially dead. 150 seriously injured. Rough figures indicate about 26 critically injured being treated throughout London.
