37 dead now.

PM Blair said that it was an islamic attack

Yes, I noticed that. It seems likely, but it still seems like something of an assumption.

The eyewitness accounts that are coming out are jus chilling... people with blackened faces and tears streaming down their faces... this is the most horrible thing I've ever seen...

Yes, me too. The worst part is the sensationalism in the media...the camera seems to linger on those that the paramedics are pumping their chest trying to resuscitate them, or the ones with blood all over their faces. I just think it's rather inconsiderate to the victims and the families for them to keep replaying those clips.

This article says that the UK warned Israel. Why did they not warn the UK?

article

JERUSALEM - British police told the Israeli Embassy in London minutes before Thursday's explosions that they had received warnings of possible terror attacks in the city, a senior Israeli official said.

Israeli Finance Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu had planned to attend an economic conference in a hotel over the subway stop where one of the blasts occurred, and the warning prompted him to stay in his hotel room instead, government officials said.

You'd hope so. But 'intelligence' is at times nothing of the sort.

Lord hear my prayers on this horrific day of mourning.
Please Lord be with the families and loved ones of the bomb blast victims.
Lord help us not to feel hatred towards the people who caused these blasts.
Heavenly father we ask that you help us show each other love and compassion at this awful time, you are needed so badly by so many people right now Lord.
I am sure Lord that people will even blame you for what has happed, open our eyes oh Lord help us see, help us understand. Lord I ask for this in your most holy name AMEN

Officals have said they warned Israel within minutes after the first attack.

I believe they are now saying that the 'report' that the Israeli embassy was notified is false.

Interestingly... this is the same sort of thing that happened after 9-11...

"The Jews knew about it before-hand..."

Does that seem a little odd that it happened again in London?

 

[Willo]

A report is coming out that ambulances are rushing back to the scene of the attack, possibly more injuried, and bodies found.

It wouldn't surprise me if Mossad had prior intel.

 

[arnegrim]

Hasn't it been claimed by the 'Secret Al-Qaeda Network of Europe' or some such thing?

Israel said "before"

You mean the rumor that this occurred, or are you saying it actually happened both times?

I doubt they would deliberately withold the information...
