Praise the lord so few! And lets not forget to pray for Baghdad, where bombs are constantly killing people, and for Israel and Palestine, where this occurs so often, and for all the other natiosn which are effected by terrorism. I hope we in England will take this as an opportunity to reflect on all hurt by bombings, everywhere, and feel solidarity with all people of goodwill who reject terrorism and believe in peace, justice, and love. It's easy in the uK right now to forget how lucky we have been since the ending of the iRA bombings to know peacwe and security...

BBC confirms 33 dead.

I'll keep you posted.

Yes, thats accurate... can other people stop reporting inaccurate figures now as they are very confusing for people...

People are just reporting as the media reports it, so the no one knows what is inaccurate. But in the press conference at the moment it is 33 killed.

Plus that no one has claimed the attack.

Also Sky News is saying that the Police cannot confirm how many fatalities in bus blast.
